Request

The total number of COVID-19 vaccinations given by community pharmacies in England (1st, second and third doses)?

Response

A copy of the information is attached.

The NHSBSA makes payments for covid vaccinations to Pharmacies and Primary Care Network (PCN) providers in England.

Covid vaccination data is keyed in via Point of Care (POC) Systems and they transferred to the NHSBSA Manage Your Service (MYS) application.

Each month, vaccine providers submit claims to request payment based on the data that has been transferred into MYS. To be paid in a timely fashion, such claims must be submitted during a specified declaration submission period. Should claims be submitted outside of the time windows, payments will be made later. This means that in some cases there is a difference between the number of vaccines that have been 'claimed' and the number that have been 'paid'.

The number of 'claimed' vaccinations has been reported in this request.

Data included in this request is limited to vaccinations carried out by Pharmacies only.

The latest data used is a snapshot of the MYS system data that was taken on 8 June 2022 and provides the cumulative total of vaccinations claimed for by pharmacies, since the roll out began in December 2020. This is the snapshot of data taken after the June submission period that was used to calculate payments.

Vaccination records are limited to those which have been associated with a declaration submission.
