Care home bed vacancies

Workforce resourcing including absences

A full primary course does not include COVID-19 boosters. For most people, a full primary course is defined as 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccination. For a small number of people, however, including people who were vaccinated abroad, people who have received a single-dose vaccination such as Janssen, or people who are severely immunosuppressed, a full primary course may mean a different number of doses.

As CT no longer includes a separate question asking for the number of care home staff who have been fully vaccinated abroad, individuals falling in this category should be recorded as having received a full primary course of COVID-19 vaccination, together with those who received it in the UK.

An autumn booster is defined as any booster delivered under the autumn booster campaign, which began in September 2022, as announced in May 2022.

While COVID-19 vaccination data forms part of the mandatory provider dataset, we recognise that staff may choose not to disclose their vaccination status to their employer. Providers should complete CT with the numbers of staff who are known to have received a vaccination and are not asked to disclose the numbers not vaccinated and the numbers with unknown vaccination status.
