Flu Catch Ups

For the majority of patients in Herts Valley CCG practices the number they will need to contact for influenza catch-ups is – 01462 341173 or 01462 459595 for Vaccination UK. However, most schools should know the date of their second visit from the VUK team (and almost every school has a double visit) so it may be worth only contacting if the child cannot attend the second visit.

For those attending a Special Educational Needs school though they would need to contact the main HCT SAIS service for their vaccine catch-up; but these are generally arranged alongside the school and are chased up by the nurses proactively so I wouldn’t expect you to get many calls regarding SEN School patients. They can call 01727 732062, or email hct.immsenquiries@nhs.net.

Those handful of patients who attend a HV CCG GP practice but attend school outside of the area will need to contact the local authority area for their catch-up. The majority of these would likely be for Bedfordshire, so EPUT team can be contacted on Tel. 0300 790 0594 or Email: epunft.blmkimmunisation@nhs.net.
