Reducing contact time with patients and maintaining social distancing can help reduce risk of viral transmission.  How can this be achieved when you need to assess if a customer is eligible or suitable for the flu vaccination?

Remote consultations (telephone or video) may used in various ways to help deliver your flu vaccination service. 

They may be used to:

• Help undertake the initial consultation to check eligibility and complete any consultation forms.
• Give guidance on the flu vaccination, how they will be given and any side-effects and any advice and guidance on what to expect after the vaccination.
• Completeing any relevant paper work or consultation forms before patient contact means the patient will only need to attend for the vaccination if they are eligible, meaning less conact time and reduced risk of virus transmission.
