This PSNC Briefing provides early guidance for community pharmacy contractors and their teams on the 2020/2021 NHS Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Advanced Service in England. Information and resources to support the service are also available at psnc.org.uk/flu and additional and updated resources will be added nearer the start of the service.

We strongly recommend that contractors use the information in the briefing document to plan how they may be able to provide a COVID-safe service this year.

Contractors must however note that the changes PSNC is seeking to the flu vaccination service, described in the briefing, have not yet been agreed and may never be agreed by NHSE&I. We will confirm any agreed changes as soon as possible, but in the meantime, the options presented should only be used for planning purposes.
