St George’s Hospital has launched a new campaign to encourage staff to get their Covid-19 vaccine.
The hospital’s new ‘Be like…’ campaign features a number of different staff, including a doctor, nurse, porter, radiographer and a manager who have had their vaccine.
All five staff featured in the campaign are encouraging colleagues to get their Covid-19 vaccine, and to feel free to ask questions and have conversations with colleagues if they are unsure, or have yet to make up their mind.
The Trust is providing a range of resources to help staff make an informed decision about the jab – including virtual staff briefing sessions, written Q&As, case studies on social media, plus a drop-in vaccine clinic to make it as easy as possible for staff to get their jab.
One of the staff who features is Nikhil Shah, a radiographer at the Trust. He said: “I got my vaccine to protect myself, my family and my patients.”

Another is Dr Nkem Onyeador, who said: “Protecting the St George’s family is so important to me.”
St George’s was one of the first hospitals to administer the Covid-19 vaccine in December 2020, since when nearly 30,000 patients and staff have received their jab at the Trust.
Patients and members of the public should attend by appointment only.
