Flu Vaccinations: National Booking System available for pharmacies

Community pharmacies providing the Flu Vaccination Advanced Service are being invited to make use of the National Booking System (NBS).

NHS England has announced that any pharmacies who have yet to register with the NBS, can do so for the 2025/26 flu season. This follows on from an offer made to pharmacy owners for flu vaccination bookings in 2024/25.

If your pharmacy would like to take up the offer of its use, you will need to complete an NBS flu form between 24th July and 11th August to receive login details before 18th August 2025. Later applications (open until 9th March 2026) will receive their login details within 10 working days.

To register, pharmacy owners will need to provide their pharmacy ODS code (F code), and the name and secure email addresses (NHSmail email addresses are secure emails) of two pharmacy representatives who will be given access to NBS. Following registration, the representatives will be sent login details, training details and further information.

Any queries on this should be emailed to england.vacspolicyandcontracts@nhs.net.
