Flu vaccination training requirements for 2021/22 and local training offer

The usual training requirements for pharmacists providing the national community pharmacy Flu Vaccination Service have been reinstated for the 2021/22 season. This has been confirmed to PSNC by NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE&I) and Public Health England.

A pharmacist who last undertook face-to-face training for both injection technique and basic life support in 2017 and would have needed to undertake face-to-face training in 2020 but deferred this due to the pandemic, and those who last undertook face-to-face training for both injection technique and basic life support in 2018, will need to complete their face-to face training in 2021.
