Gateshead Council Employee Flu Vaccination Service
Gateshead and South Tyneside LPC is pleased to announce that we have negotiated an Employee Seasonal Flu Vaccination Service with Gateshead Council. The Service is funded by the Council and is to allow for eligible Council staff (those presenting with a with a Council ID badge from designated teams in the Council) to be privately vaccinated in the pharmacy. This year the Council is also offering pharmacies the opportunity to deliver off-site vaccinations.
Please note, pharmacies are to offer this Service under their own private PGDs.
Each Vaccination will attract a £10 fee as per the Council’s Specification and off-site vaccinations will be paid at a rate of £50 per 2 hour clinic and £200 per 6 hour clinic, plus vaccination fee. Eligible Council staff will be advised to present at pharmacies or at off-site clinics (to be agreed with the Council) with their ID badge. Pharmacies are to take note of the ID badge number and check the team within which the staff members work against an approved list of teams.
Pharmacies are invited to complete the Next Steps below to enter into a Contract with the Council to deliver the Service.
