Have your say on central flu vaccine procurement

NHS England is surveying providers on the current procurement model for NHS flu vaccinations, and how this supports delivery of the flu programme.

Until December 17, providers are also asked to consider the potential benefits and challenges of a centralised procurement model.

The NHS England central flu vaccine procurement and supply provider engagement survey looks at issues such as administrative workload and wastage of vaccine. 

The survey asks commercially sensitive questions, such as pricing of vaccines, discounts achieved and percentage split between NHS and private vaccinations administered.  

There are 27 questions in total which should take 15-20 minutes to complete.The responses are anonymous and will not be published. Participants do not need to answer all questions.
