Flu PGDs 2024/25

Description

PGDs can only be purchased as an add-on with any  Health Academy Seasonal Influenza training courses

At Health Academy we are pleased to offer a comprehensive set of Flu Patient Group Direction (PGD) packages that can be purchased only with our flu training courses.  See below for options.  We issue certificates and PGDs on completion of training once the PGD is available. Usually this happens around August. 

Who is this product suitable for?

The Flu PGD and training packages are suitable for any healthcare workers wishing to administer the annual flu vaccine and who can do so under a PGD.

So what PGDs have we included?

Because of the range of vaccine products available, we will include the full set of Injectable flu vaccine PGDs available in the UK for the coming flu season. For this coming season these will be:

• Quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine – QIVe
• Quadrivalent influenza cell cultured vaccine – QIVc
• Adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine – aQIV
• Recombinant quadrivalent influenza vaccine – QIVr

And what training do we include?

These PGD can be purchases alongside any of our flu training courses whether you are brand new to immunising or a seasoned vaccinator we have a package for you.

Other considerations

Important: Private Flu PGD’s can only be used in practice with agreement of the organisation you are working within. Therefore the PGD will only be valid for use once approved for use internally.

Please also note that Public Health England (PHE) strongly recommended a period of supervised practice in addition to comprehensive training when the practitioner is new to immunisation. National Minimum Standards and Core Curriculum for Immunisation Training for Registered Healthcare Practitioners (PHE).
