Flu vaccination frontline staff
Hi Tracy,
my understanding is that the decision to
add high risk patients was a last minute one and your organisation will have to
decide about the allocation of vaccine to patients and staff. At my own
Trust we were worried that our initial delivery of vaccine was going to be too
small to split between staff and patients but we have been reassured we are
receiving a higher number of vaccines ion the first delivery than originally
thought.
The PGD was causing a headache as my Trust
is keen to have a locally designed document. I duly write one for pandemrix and
it has already been approved. This has allowed me to train the
vaccinating team.
My Trust has been very supportive and has
paid for a team of vaccinators and administrators for a 6 week programme.
Unfortunately we have slightly struggled because of the scarcity of definitive
information from the Department of Health but everything is now falling into
place for us to commence our programme on Thursday and Friday this week.
Good luck
Paul

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Swine Flu
vaccination frontline staff
I
am slightly confused, even after all the planning and meetings involved in the
distribution of the swine flu vaccine to all frontline staff, a query has
arisen relating to high risk in-patients in hospital.
We
are debating with our head of clinical services, who wants the decision on who
to vaccinate first between staff and patients to be taken by the Trust.
My
understanding was that the first delivery of vaccine to Acute Trusts was for
frontline staff, and the second wave of delivery (waves again!) would be
allocated for patients. There is also some confusion about whether the acute
Trusts or PCT's should be vaccinating patients (arghh).
Also
the Patient Group Directive is causing some hoo har (very professional
terminology). My understanding was the Dept of Health was sending the PGD with
the vaccine tomorrow, and at the workshop on Thursday, the advice was the PGC
would not need to be signed off by the powers that be in each Trust, as it is
exceptional circumstances, and the DoH would sign it off. Each ward based
vaccinator would then sign their PGD.
I
fnayone agress with this, or has any other information, please let me know. I
have draft information, but nothing definitive.
Many
thanks,
Tracy
