Can I ask initially NHS colleagues and then anyone who can offer suggestions how t hey deal with habitual non attendance for vaccinations? I have a "hit list" of a fair few people who dont attend for their hep B appointments despite a variety of interventions, we train them on induction, we offer appts we sent out reminders, information updates, notices to staff, remind them again blah blah blah. Is there a point that you give up?  In my world not quite the same of health worker undertaking exposure prone work - the risks to our staff are through search procedures and undertaking C&R.  However HSE having a big push on issues within HMPS and one of their pet subjects is  vaccination. I really dont want to get heavy handed but feel that I might have to if there is this consistant ignoring all attempts to get them to attend. Any suggestions?
