Locum doctors and flu vaccine

Published 28 September 2020. This may have been superseded, so check for later updates.

We have received several reports of locum doctors finding it difficult to secure flu vaccinations from their registered practice.  Locum GPs are fully entitled to receive the flu vaccination from their registered GP, and practices are contractually responsible for providing the flu vaccination to locum GPs who are their registered patients. It is vital that we work together during this unprecedented winter season to protect our already over stretched workforce.
