At present, there are media campaigns using television, print, radio, and digital that target adults over the age of 65. There are not currently any plans for media campaigns targeted towards the clinically vulnerable and extremely clinically vulnerable. There is guidance available for these groups online at GOV.UK and this guidance has been promoted online through the National Health Service and Every Mind Matters sites. The impact of communications is constantly monitored and optimised on a regular basis.
