Details

The strategic reserve is held in the event that the uptake of flu vaccine exceeds that which was expected and stock is no longer available through the conventional supply chains, directly from vaccine suppliers.

This document describes the circumstances under which the national flu vaccine strategic reserve will be made available to the NHS in England and how these vaccines can be ordered through ImmForm.
