Statement of amendment to the annual flu letter for 2025 to 2026
Posted on:
The annual flu letter has been updated to reflect the national pilot that is planned for community pharmacies to provide flu vaccines to 2-3 year olds.
NHS England has already commissioned community pharmacies to provide seasonal influenza vaccinations to children aged 2 and 3 years for the 2025/26 season and has published the advanced service specifications:
- For adults: https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/prn01998-v-community-pharmacy-advanced-service-specification-seasonal-influenza-vaccination-1-sept-2025-31-march-2026.pdf
- For children: https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/PRN02049-cp-advanced-service-specification-childhood-seasonal-influenza-vaccination-oct-25-mar-26.pdf
The service will be delivered from 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026.
This is intended to supplement the GP offer. This will be for one year initially pending the outcomes of an evaluation.
