My patient falls outside the national campaign age range but wants to receive the vaccination. Can I prescribe on the NHS?
It is recognised that it may be good medical practice to prescribe for patients who fall outside the national campaign. In this case the GP should clinically assess such patients considering the risks and benefits and make a decision whether the vaccination is clinically indicated. If clinically indicated, then the vaccine must be provided on an FP10.
