They can get their vaccine from their general practitioner (GP) or pharmacy. Every year the Chief Medical Officer writes to third sector organisations representing carers to ask them to encourage their members to get vaccinated.<\/p>

Flu vaccination is also recommended for frontline social care workers to help protect staff and those that they care for. In addition to occupational health schemes in place locally, frontline social care workers who work directly with vulnerable clients are eligible to receive flu vaccine from their GP or pharmacy in a scheme funded by NHS England.<\/p>

Public Health England (PHE) provides influenza vaccines centrally for the children\u2019s influenza programme. Centrally purchased influenza vaccines are carefully monitored by PHE to ensure there is equitable distribution across England and sufficient in-date vaccine for patients who present throughout the season.<\/p>
<\/p>
General practitioners and other providers are directly responsible for the influenza vaccine supplies used to deliver the national influenza programme to the other eligible groups. PHE maintains oversight to help facilitate a constant supply of vaccine, liaising with vaccine manufacturers to ascertain whether there are any manufacturing problems which could impact the running of the programme at a national level.<\/p>
<\/p>
This winter, eligible adults aged 18-64 were offered a quadrivalent influenza vaccine, and those aged 65 and over were offered a newly licensed adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (aTIV). There were a number of short-term localised shortages of both vaccines reported, particularly for aTIV due to staggered deliveries from the manufacturer between September and November. The NHS managed these shortages locally, but some patients had to wait longer than usual to be vaccinated. However, there was no overall shortage of either vaccine.<\/p>"}

Public Health England monitors the vaccine effectiveness of influenza vaccines each year against all the strains in circulation. The effectiveness observed varies from year to year, depending on factors such as the match between those strains in circulation and those in the vaccine.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) keeps the influenza vaccine programme under constant review and assesses new influenza vaccines ahead of licensure to ensure that improved products can be brought rapidly to the United Kingdom population. The JCVI has recently reviewed three new influenza vaccines with evidence of improved effectiveness. Further information is available at the following link:<\/p>
<\/p>
www.gov.uk/government/groups/joint-committee-on-vaccination-and-immunisation#influenza-vaccines-jcvi-advice<\/a><\/p> <\/p>
Based on the JCVI advice, NHS England then advises doctors on when to use these newer influenza vaccines. In 2018/19 those aged 65 and above were offered adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine. Cell cultured quadrivalent influenza vaccine will also be advised for use in 2019/20.<\/p>"}
