Providing Flu Vaccinations Offsite

New requirement to seek consent from the commissioner

Requests to provide the seasonal influenza vaccinations at locations other than the pharmacy premises (off-site)

The Community pharmacy advanced service specifications – seasonal influenza vaccination  for adults and children include a requirement that pharmacies seek consent from the commissioner if they wish to carry out vaccinations at a location away from the pharmacy premises (e.g. patient’s home, care home, long-stay residential facility or community venue). 

If your pharmacy intends to provide flu vaccinations at locations other than the pharmacy premises, please complete and submit the following Online form

Confirmation of consent to vaccinate off-site will be emailed back to your NHS pharmacy generic email address.  

Commissioner consent to vaccinate off-site does not negate the need for the Pharmacy to work collaboratively with local partners in the set-up of off-site services.
