Flu vaccination data from PharmOutcomes and Sonar for 2020/21
The Excel and PDF documents below contain information on the number of flu vaccinations administered as part of the community pharmacy Flu Vaccination Service 2020/21 which have been entered into the PharmOutcomes and Sonar systems.
Some contractors are unable to use or have decided not to use these electronic systems to record the administration of vaccines. Therefore the total number of vaccinations administered by community pharmacists under the national Flu Vaccination Service in 2020/21 will be higher than the number recorded in the Excel and PDF documents below.
Patient eligibility group data from PharmOutcomes and Sonar for 2020/21
This data shows the eligibility groups of patients who have been vaccinated in participating community pharmacies (updated on the 31st March 2021).
Some contractors are not able to use or have decided not to use electronic systems to record the administration of vaccines. Therefore this data does not cover all patients vaccinated during the 20120/21 service.
