Practices not delivering COVID-19 vaccination: sharing information on eligible patients

Practices not delivering COVID-19 vaccination under the current enhanced service specification should share lists of eligible patients with their local commissioner where these patients cannot all be identified by national call/recall, so that the commissioner can arrange provision. Patients who cannot be identified nationally are likely to be immunosuppressed patients and housebound patients as well as patients who are six-months to four years old in a clinical risk group. Practices are required to provide information to the local commissioner under the duty of co-operation requirement in their contracts.
