Flu vaccine procurement for 2012/13 (added 22/11/11)
The Department of Health has confirmed that even though a consultation has
been held on the future procurement of flu vaccine, GPs will remain responsible
for ordering their vaccine for the flu vaccination programme for the winter of
2012/13. The BMA responded to the consultation (Review of the Procurement of the
Seasonal Flu vaccine) in August, highlighting its concerns about the proposals
to move to central procurement of seasonal flu vaccines in England and it awaits
the formal response to this consultation.
