Pharmacies are performing well, in particular with diabetic patients and patients with chronic respiratory disease. However, we need to do just as well and focus on;

· Carers
Please let your cell structure lead know if there are any issues/ concerns with delivering the service.
Remember, the service level agreement states that all pharmacies must achieve 20 flu vaccinations and 5 PPV vaccinations.
If you need any flu vaccines- please contact your LPC and we can support you in obtaining further supplies.
