Dose 1 and dose 2 coverage of the Shingrix vaccination will be collected as part of the shingles immunisation programme. GP practice-level shingles vaccine coverage will be based on data automatically uploaded via participating GP IT suppliers to the ImmForm website (a website used by Public Health England (PHE) and NHS to collect data on vaccine coverage and provide vaccine ordering facilities for the NHS) on a quarterly basis.
In 2021 data will be collected on the following.
Denominator
