Pandemic flu and QOF

NHS Employers and the GPC have agreed that for the 2010/11 QOF only, eligible patients who received Pandemrix in place of the seasonal flu vaccine will count towards achievement for the relevant QOF flu indicators.

This agreement is applicable in England, Wales and Northern Ireland only. Should issues relating to the availability of vaccine in Scotland arise then a similar approach will be taken. Full details are available on the NHS Employers website.
