Reminder: NHS flu jabs start date 3rd October

Pharmacy owners are reminded that while flu vaccinations can now be given to pregnant women, the vaccination of other eligible adult groups for the 2024/25 campaign cannot begin until 3rd October 2024. This delayed start applies to both pharmacies and GP practices.

To help explain this change to patients, CPE has produced a poster to display in pharmacies, and the UK Health Security Agency has also published a leaflet for the public.  Should local issues with the service arise, please contact the LPC.
