The 2025/26 GP vaccination campaign is focused on HPV catch-up for 14-24-year-olds (inclusive). This aims to address declines, reduce variation in uptake and subsequent cancer prevalence.
Practices are asked to:
- Check all eligible patient immunisation records have been updated following notification of vaccination events
- Invite those identified as unvaccinated aged 16-24 (inclusive) for vaccination
- Update records for patients who do not respond to invites or attend appointments
- Continue to offer opportunistic vaccination to anyone currently unvaccinated aged 14 or over
This campaign runs until 31 March 2026.
MMR vaccinations for practice staff
Due to the recent measles outbreaks, GP practices are permitted to administer MMR vaccines to their eligible staff who are registered with another practice under INT (immediately necessary treatment). This is a time limited arrangement from 1 August 2025 until 31 March 2026. Completing doses must be administered in accordance with the recommended intervals in the Green Book and by 31 March 2026.
An item of service fee cannot be claimed for MMR vaccines administered to staff registered with another practice. However, indemnity cover will be provided through the Clinical Negligence Scheme for General Practice (CNSGP) and nationally supplied MMR stock can be used. Staff must be strongly encouraged to inform their registered practice that they have received an MMR vaccine, requesting it be included in their medical record. NHS Resolution will shortly update its website to confirm these temporary arrangements.
