COVID-19 Vaccinations
- As you maybe aware there are complexities surrounding the mass rollout and storage requirements for the likely initial vaccine
- Therefore, pharmacy involvement will be different from other vaccination programmes
- Option 1: Work with GP practices in your PCN (or a neighbouring one) to support the PCN vaccination site and any outreach into care homes, etc. This could involve pharmacy contractors providing staff under a private arrangement to support the GP/PCN-led service
- Option 2: Provide a COVID-19 vaccination service under the terms of the Enhanced service (currently being drafted) where NHSE&I want to commission that service, either because they have no existing provision in an area or they need additional provision.
- The majority of pharmacy contractors are unlikely to have the capacity to provide a vaccination site of their own.
- Where contactors do have capacity to get involved and want to do so, option 1 is likely the best option for most to pursue – Contact your PCN and or your LPC if you would like to participate
- If you are interested in providing a vaccination site – Contact your NHSE&I regional team
