You can vaccinate staff from either council as both councils are listed within Pharmoutcomes. If staff are eligible for the National Flu Service PLEASE do not claim via the Council Service and follow the standard NHS vaccination process. Pharmacies NOT offering private flu vaccinations If you are not listed and are wanting to provide via a private flu vaccination service,  you will need to register on the CHEST portal. For any queries around the CHEST, please e-mail Alyson.Delin@WestmorlandandFurness.gov.uk. If your pharmacy is not offering private flu vaccinations this year, please can you contact the nearest pharmacy to ask if they are ( or download the list above )  providing the service and signpost the council/school staff member. This will minimise the complaints, as we received a lot last year about staff being turned away.
