II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Each year, the Department of Health and Social Care, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and NHS England develop an annual flu plan to guide local arrangements of seasonal flu vaccination delivery, based upon a co-ordinated and evidence-based approach.
As a further support to this agenda, LCC undertake an annual workforce flu vaccination programme to promote the uptake of vaccination to frontline workers and business critical staff, to reduce the impact of flu in the population whilst supporting the improvement of staff absenteeism figures due to the flu virus. Results on service delivery of this programme are fed into local A+E Delivery Boards in support of winter planning by helping to vaccinate frontline staff, supporting the reduction in unplanned hospital admissions and pressure on A+E services. Raising awareness of the importance of the flu vaccination through national campaigns delivered locally, staff briefing sessions ensures informed consent for employees plus a dedicated mailbox for employee queries is also run throughout the flu season.
Delivery of the on-site flu vaccine to LCC workforce on behalf of the Lancashire County Council Health Protection Team (LCC HPT), maximises protection for self, family and friends and particularly for those working frontline with high-risk, vulnerable groups and business critical services.
Delivery of the on-site flu clinics enables a greater level of accessibility by delivering the free flu vaccination at site of work and out-of-hours if required, with zero disruption to working hours and responsibilities.
