Dear Colleague
Following commencement of the Community Pharmacy Seasonal Influenza Vaccination service, the HSCB has developed a Seasonal Influenza Interactive Map to inform members of the public as to where they can obtain a vaccine. At present the map includes the name, address and phone numbers of participating pharmacies.
For pharmacy contractors who are using the SimplyBook.Me Vaccine Booking System (SBM VBS), CPNI will ask HSCB to add each pharmacy’s SBM VBS URL to the Seasonal Influenza Interactive Map,to enable online booking by members of the public unless we are advised otherwise by the pharmacy contractor.
For Pharmacy contractors using other vaccine booking systems you should liaise with HSCB if you wish to have the relevant URL details added to the Seasonal Influenza Interactive Map for your pharmacy(-ies).
Action: 1. If your pharmacy is signed up to SimplyBook.Me VBS but does NOT wish to have your booking site URL added to the Seasonal Influenza Interactive Map please email confirmation to this effect to eshields@communitypharmacyni.co.uk by 5pm Friday 08 October 2021.
2. If you have recently signed up to SimplyBook.Me and your pharmacy’s booking site is not yet on any of the HSCB Interactive vaccination maps you should contact Tom.Coyle@hscni.net to have your details added.
3. If your pharmacy uses an alternative vaccine booking system, and if you wish to have the details linked to the Seasonal Influenza Interactive Map you should contact Tom.Coyle@hscni.net.
Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards
