At Numark, we understand the importance of providing a comprehensive
service during the winter season, including competitive pricing on flu
and pneumonia vaccines and training and support to ensure you run
a successful and profitable service. As we transition from autumn into
winter, it becomes crucial to prepare for winter health services, especially
considering the increased awareness around health during the colder
months and the rise in illnesses.
We want to ensure that you are well-prepared to handle the high
demand for flu and pneumonia vaccinations. While anyone can contract
pneumonia, only certain age groups or individuals with specific medical
conditions are eligible for a free NHS pneumococcal vaccination.
Therefore, more people are considering private vaccinations to safeguard
their health.
To assist our members in providing this service, we have partnered with
PharmaDoctor to offer a 10% discount on PGDs for pneumococcal
vaccinations. This service allows you to offer pneumococcal vaccinations
to patients in your community as well as those visiting your pharmacy.
Additionally, we provide general vaccination training through ECG with
a 10% discount for our members, ensuring that your pharmacy is well-
trained for the winter season.

To further support you in delivering a successful vaccination service,
Numark has developed a range of resources and tools. These include
service support packs, vaccination service Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs), pneumonia excellence training modules, vaccination
competency checklists and more. You can find these resources by visiting
the Pneumococcal Vaccination Service page on NumarkNet at
numarknet.com/pneumococcal

Offering a Flu Vaccination Service is an excellent complement to the
services you can provide during the autumn and winter months. As
you receive your flu vaccine orders, we also offer various supportive
resources to ensure another successful flu season in 2023/2024. These
resources include, marketing support, training modules, guidance on NHS
flu vaccination services for all four nations within the UK and even our
corporate flu vouchers scheme.

Delivering a Flu Vaccination Service is not only a way to support your
local community, but also an opportunity for community pharmacy
teams to showcase their ability to deliver. Last year, they administered
nearly 4.8 million flu vaccinations under the NHS Flu Vaccination Service,
demonstrating their dedication and competence.
