It is NHS England’s responsibility to apportion funds to optimise the delivery of the vaccination programmes. The Department works with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and NHS England to improve immunisation delivery, capacity, and uptake for all. This includes looking at innovative delivery routes to make getting vaccinated easier for under-served and under-vaccinated communities.

It is vitally important that everyone takes up the vaccinations to which they are entitled; for themselves, their families, and wider society. Anyone unsure about their eligibility or vaccination status should contact their general practitioner for advice.
