PCN collaborative arrangements for the Covid-19 vaccination service
Primary care networks (PCNs) may agree for practices opted into 2026/27 Covid-19 vaccination service to vaccinate registered patients of other practices within their PCN, in line with the new PCN Directed Enhanced Service. Where agreed, all practices in the PCN must ensure they are signed up to the Covid-19 vaccination programme in CQRS from 1 April 2026 (soon be renamed the Covid-19 vaccination claiming service). This will allow payments to be claimed when another practice vaccinates their registered patients. Payments should then be distributed as agreed in the network agreement. Practices already opted in need take no action. Claims open from 30 April and must be submitted within three months.
