Inactivated influenza vaccine: national protocol – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
The East of England Screening and Immunisation team have been advised by Sanofi that the high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV-HD) is available to order if you need additional flu vaccines for their 65 years and over cohort. Delivery is in 1-2 working days after an order is placed. Don’t forget that every effort must be made to comply with JCVI guidance in the annual flu letter 24-25 and you should only use QIVc in the 65+ cohort when “every attempt to use aQIV or QIV-HD has been exhausted – evidence of this may be requested by the commissioner before reimbursement is agreed”.
To contact Sanofi to order QIV-HD: call Customer Services: 0800 854430, Charlie Hall: 07919 165215 or Beth Orpin: 07891 060893
