Public Health England (PHE) publishes weekly influenza vaccine uptake reports throughout the flu season for general practitioner (GP) patients who are entitled to a National Health Service flu vaccine, including those with one or more serious long-term health conditions. This data is based on automated returns from GP practices. The first weekly report will be published on 8 October on the GOV.UK website.

PHE also publishes monthly influenza vaccine uptake data on the number of individuals who are entitled to a flu vaccine and who have received one. This data will be published on GOV.UK on 26 November 2020.
