Do NHS staff (admin) get the flu vaccine?

[Riddlediddle]

I'm starting a new NHS band 4 admin job in the next couple of weeks. I usually book myself in for a paid for flu vaccine at the local boots each year but then I just wondered if because I am now NHS staff I am entitled to a free vaccine? I would imagine just frontline receive the vaccine but thought i would ask on here just in case anyone knew?
Thanks

They do at my Trust.

Are you working in a hospital? If so, yes. Not sure whether that applies to GP surgery staff.

I work in a GP surgery as admin staff and we are offered it every year.

I won't be on the wards I will be office based

Yes, all staff as it is a competition between the clinical boards in my Trust so every staff member counts towards the overall percentage of compliance.

Yes, all NHS staff are offered it (and we have been told that this year there needs to be 100% uptake - not sure how they will manage that!)

I'm admin staff at large GP surgery and very rarely have patient contact but still get offered free flu vaccine.

Excellent thanks I will hold off on my private booking for now then

Not at my trust.
They have said that they will have a very limited supply so critical areas and patient facing staff are to be offered.
I’ve been told to advise admin staff to get it from their GP.

Yes. You can always contact occupational health and ask when/where they are being done.

Yes they do at my trust, I'm admin.

Good to know. Thanks everyone

Yes, but in my Trust admin staff in non clinical areas would be called forward last.

@SpeedofaSloth yes I had guessed if I was entitled to one I would be at the bottom of the list. Rightly so though as the frontline staff are the ones that face the most risk and therefore need it the most

I am non clinical and so am also lower down theost, I have had a jab every year so far, just not until a bit later into the flu season.

*the list

Yep definitely office staff

Yep, and there are daily emails from a Comms encouraging it whilst having it on the PC desktop too.

Yes you will get it but not as quickly as you might if you book one. You will get it before the main flu season

@MadisonMontgomery yes same at my trust...no way will we get 100% uptake.
