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!
