The Bolton Council Staff Flu Vaccination Programme is a preventative workforce health service that has been delivered successfully through partnerships with local community pharmacies. Evaluation evidence demonstrates sustained demand, high levels of staff satisfaction, increasing uptake, and positive contributions to workforce wellbeing and organisational resilience.

The service is a well-established, locally delivered programme that can be implemented rapidly ahead of the flu season. The service benefits from established relationships with local pharmacies, knowledge of Bolton Council workplaces, and existing delivery arrangements for both workplace clinics and community pharmacy provision. Lessons identified from previous delivery emphasise the importance of early engagement with pharmacies and continuity of operational arrangements.

Delivery: North West
