C-19 vac: Setting up FDP access
Pharmacy owners taking part in the spring COVID-19 vaccination programme will require Federated Data Platform (FDP) access to order COVID-19 vaccines. Pharmacy owners can request FDP access here.
A step-by-step guide is also available.
If access issues occur, pharmacy owners should clear their browser cache, switch to Microsoft Edge or use an InPrivate/Incognito window and paste the link directly into the address bar. Persistent issues are typically caused by local firewall settings; pharmacies who are part of a pharmacy chain may need to contact their local IT Service Desk for assistance.
FDP access drop-in sessions
FDP Access drop-in sessions (Future NHS log-in required) are available on:
- 23rd February 2026 from 11:00am to 11:30am;
- 27th February 2026 from 2:00pm to 2:30pm; and
- 10th March 2026 from 12:00pm to 12:30pm.
Each session covers the same content, therefore, pharmacy owners will only need to attend one session. Before attending, pharmacy owners are advised to log into FDP ahead of their training session so they can follow along with the demonstrations.
