That conference, with regard to the Covid-19 vaccination programme:
- applauds the efforts of GPs and their teams who are the reason why the UK programme has been successful in rapidly vaccinating our population including those who are most vulnerable
- believes that we need to start planning for an annual Covid-19 vaccination programme
- requires GPC to proactively negotiate with NHS / DHSC a Direct Enhanced Service so that if an annual Covid-19 vaccination programme is required it will be contracted with and delivered by individual general practices.
