Flu guidance for Autumn 2020

NHS England have updated their advice to practices regarding which types of flu vaccine should be ordered for use during the next vaccination season.

Full details of NHS England’s plans are contained in this letter, which was issued on 20 December 2019.

The Londonwide LMCs’ Buying Group offers discounted rates on flu vaccines via our partners MidMeds. Member practices should call Mylan (0800 358 7468) who have agreed on the same deal as last year (50% discount), or Seqirus (08457 451 500), who have asked practices to call them for the best price based on volume, and mention the Londonwide LMCs’ Buying Group when they discuss discounts.

Further details on the Londonwide LMCs’ Buying Group can be found here.
