CASBA support people with a Learning Disability to self-advocate. We think everyone has the right to easy read or accessible information. This will make it easier for people to understand what the COVID 19 vaccination is and make their own decisions. If you are unsure about having the vaccination, we think you should talk to a medical professional, like your doctor. CASBA's Ambassadors who have had the vaccine would like to reassure people about what it's like: You can download this statement with added pictures below.
There is also an easy read leaflet about the vaccination from Public Health England to download and the latest guidance from the government about how we will exit from lockdown restrictions.
