This page of the website contains data on provision of the Flu Vaccination Advanced Service that has been provided to PSNC by PharmOutcomes.
Flu vaccinations administered by community pharmacists in 2018/19
Community pharmacists in England administered 1,431,538 flu vaccinations to patients under the national NHS Flu Vaccination Service in 2018/19.
The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) has published the Advanced Service Flu Report 2018/19*, detailing the community pharmacy contractors who signed up to provide the service, as well as the NHS England area, vaccines administered, and drug and fee costs.
The number of community pharmacies which provided the national NHS Flu Vaccination Service in 2018/19 was 9,071 (78.2% of all community pharmacies in England).
The average number of vaccinations carried out by each participating pharmacy was 158, although five contractors greatly exceeded this by completing over 1,000 vaccinations each, with one administering over 2,500 vaccinations.
Compared to the 2017/18 flu season, the NHSBSA figures show that the total number of flu vaccinations administered this year was higher by 87,076 with 84 more contractors having provided the service.
*Whilst the NHSBSA has published this data now, please note that contractors have until September 2019 to submit their claims so the final figure could increase

The Excel and PDF document below contain information on the number of flu vaccinations administered as part of the community pharmacy Flu Vaccination Service 2018/19 which have been entered into the PharmOutcomes, Well, Healthi and Sonar systems.
Please note, as the flu vaccination 2018/19 season has come to an end, these figures are correct as of 1st May 2019.
Some contractors are unable to use or have decided not to use these electronic systems to record administration of vaccines.
