Dear Colleague In light of COVID-19, it is more important than ever that effective plans are in place for the 2020/21 flu season to protect those at risk, prevent ill-health and minimise further impact on the NHS and social care. We have published a letter setting out which groups are eligible for flu vaccination programme this autumn and the actions that commissioners and providers of the flu vaccine programme should take to prepare. We recognise that delivering the flu immunisation programme is likely to be more challenging because of the impact of COVID-19 on our health and social care services. Further guidance will be issued about how to manage the immunisation programme to reflect circumstances nearer the planned start of the programme in September 2020.
