The 11,483 who have chosen to stay in the NHS include former airline cabin crew members, gym managers and chefs.
And Kazeem Reaves Odunsi, who worked as a gym manager before becoming a vaccinator, said: "I have always loved helping people so the vaccinator role seemed like a good fit and although I don't have any clinical experience, I received training and was able to use the leadership skills and good customer service that I had learned from my previous jobs.
"Being part of a team that was making history and getting to meet people from a range of backgrounds and cultures, I was really inspired to stay on and start a new career in the NHS." NHS England chief executive Amanda Pritchard said it was fantastic that 11,000 people who had helped "deliver the most successful NHS vaccination programme in history" had decided to stay in the health service, while Health Secretary Sajid Javid said he was "delighted".
