Are You Eligible For Priority Vaccination?
Funeral operatives will be delighted to know that they could now be eligible to receive their COVID-19 vaccination.
The Cabinet Office have confirmed that ‘Ministers have agreed the attached operational definition, which I would be grateful if you could share with your members and across the sector’. Regrettably it does not specifically include cemetery and crematorium staff.
To find out what makes you eligible for a priority vaccine, please read through the attached document that covers the criteria of funeral activities that come as part of ‘Frontline Healthcare’.
