Private Pneumococcal Vaccination Service
As part of the NHS immunisation programme a pneumococcal vaccination is offered to the following groups as incidents of infection are more common and/or risk of complications is higher:
- Under 2yrs
- 65yrs and over
- Children and adults in clinical risk groups
But people who fall outside these groups are still at risk of developing the disease and potentially spreading the infection to vulnerable family and friends.
Offering a private pneumococcal vaccination service has several benefits
- Helping your customers stay healthy
- Increasing professional recognition as a healthcare provider
- Complimenting existing vaccination services
- Additional revenue stream
Pneumococcal infections are more widespread in autumn and winter8 so offering the vaccination service alongside the flu service is a great way to help your customers stay healthy over winter
