The role of being a flu champion is to enable you to positively promote the flu vaccination service in a number of ways:

• Know the benefits of having a flu vaccine
• Understand the myths and facts around flu vaccines
• Know the ‘at risk’ groups of patients who are eligible for a free flu vaccination on the NHS
• Promote flu vaccinations within the pharmacy via the provision of leaflets, posters and health promotion*
• Identify patients who may eligible for a free flu vaccine (NHS only)
• Explain how they can access the service and book an appointment
• Engage with community organisations e.g. care homes, faith groups to promote flu vaccinations
• Remember, this is a fantastic opportunity to raise the overall profile of your pharmacy!
