Guidance

Overview

This guideline aims to increase the uptake of all vaccines provided on the NHS routine UK immunisation schedule by everyone who is eligible. It supports the aims of the NHS Long Term Plan, which includes actions to improve immunisation coverage by GPs (including the changes to vaccinations and immunisations detailed in the 2021/2022 and 2022/23 GP contracts) and support a narrowing of health inequalities.

Recommendations

It includes recommendations on:

  • Service organisation
  • Identifying eligibility, giving vaccinations and recording vaccination status
  • Invitations, reminders and escalation of contact
