NHS England has written to GP practices to highlight the support in place to manage this year’s phased delivery of the adjuvanted trivalent vaccine (aTIV) for flu which is recommended for people over 65.

 

Summary

This template letter was populated and sent by NHS England’s regional directors to GP practice leads and GP practice managers in their area. For the first time, this vaccine is being delivered in stages from September to November 2018, so it is important that patients are aware of the adjusted timescales for their annual vaccination.
