Workplace flu vaccination clinics

The Trust provides workplace flu vaccination clinics for businesses, charities, and publicly-funded organisations across Cornwall.

Our experienced NHS Vaccination Team will visit your workplace. This makes it easier for your staff to receive their seasonal flu vaccine with less disruption to their working day.

Why offer workplace clinics?

Flu can cause significant illness. It may leave people too unwell to work or carry out their usual activities.

Providing vaccinations at work can:

  • make vaccinations more convenient and accessible
  • reduce the time spent travelling to appointments
  • support staff health and wellbeing
  • help reduce flu-related disruption during winter
  • demonstrate your commitment to workplace wellbeing

The flu vaccine is the best way to help protect people against flu and its potentially serious effects.

Why choose our team?

Your workplace clinic will be:

  • delivered by experienced NHS vaccination professionals;
  • supported by established NHS clinical governance and safety arrangements
  • organised locally by a team based in Cornwall
  • tailored to the needs of your organisation

Income received through the service is reinvested in Trust services. This helps us to support patients across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Clinic options

We offer half and full day clinics at a site provided by your organisation. A half day clinic can provide up to 50 vaccinations. A full day clinic can provide up to 100 organisations.

You can select your preferred clinic time when filling in the booking request form.

The number of people vaccinated will depend on attendance, the individual clinical assessments, and whether anyone needs extra time with the clinician.

Before the clinic

We will discuss: 

  • your preferred dates
  • the clinic location
  • the approximate number of staff
  • whether a half or full day clinic is most suitable
  • how staff attendance will be organised
  • the practical arrangements for the clinic

We will also provide information you can share with staff ahead of the clinic.

What you need to provide

You will need a suitable private room where confidential health discussions can take place. The room must have:

  • 1 table and 2 chairs
  • wi-fi or a reliable mobile signal
  • at least 2 electrical sockets
  • reasonable access to toilet facilities

You will also need to nominate a person to act as the main contact on the day. The named contact must be available when the clinician arrives. They will need to:

  • provide access to the clinic room
  • explain the relevant fire and emergency procedures
  • explain any site safety arrangements
  • help with practical issues during the clinic

Full venue requirements will be included in the service, quotation, and booking terms we send you.

What happens on the day?

Our clinician will bring the vaccines, clinical equipment, and supplies needed to provide the service.

The clinic will start at the agreed time.

Before they receive the vaccine, each member of staff will have an individual clinical assessment with a qualified vaccination professional. The clinician will:

  • confirm the person's identity
  • ask relevant medical and vaccination questions
  • assess whether the vaccine is suitable
  • obtain informed consent
  • answer any questions
  • provide appropriate aftercare advice

At the end of the clinic, we will remove our clinical equipment and clinical waste from your premises.

Records and confidentiality

Information discussed during a vaccination assessment is confidential. The employer will not receive details of a staff member's medical history or the reasons why they may not be vaccinated.

Vaccinations will be recorded securely using the national NHS vaccination recording system. They will be added to the staff member's NHS record.

The vaccination may also be visible in the staff member's NHS App or GP health record once the details have been processed.

Who can have a vaccine?

Each member of staff must complete an individual clinical assessment before having the vaccine. Some people may:

  • need further clinical assessment
  • need a particular type of flu vaccine
  • be advised to receive vaccination through another service
  • be unable to receive the vaccine offered at the workplace clinic

We will confirm the age range and other eligibility requirements before your clinic is booked.

Some members of staff may also be eligible for a free flu vaccination through an NHS programme. They can choose whether to use that service or the workplace clinic.

Prices and booking details

The total charge will include:

  • the fixed fee for the half or full day clinic
  • a charge for the number of vaccines required for the clinic

Travel and parking are included in the clinic fee. 

We will provide full details about prices, invoicing, and booking arrangements in the service, quotation, and booking terms. 

Your clinic will not be booked until you have filled in the booking request form and we have issued booking confirmation in writing.
