Following DHSC’s announcement about the extension of the flu vaccination programme to 50 to 64 year olds, please find updated flu stock guidance for general practices and pharmacies.
DHSC would like to draw attention particularly to the following update in the guidance for general practices (p8):
The initial allocation of QIVe and QIVc which was allocated to GP practices has now been ordered by them. In response to this demand, there have additional allocations of QIVe and QIVc for GP practices, however the majority of this additional allocation has now been ordered. If GP practices need further stock, they are able to order Adjuvanted Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (aTIV) for those over 65 years old or Flublok® for those under 65 years old.
Please also note:
The documents are being uploaded onto the DHSC website and will be available at the following links:
