Introducing 
Lighting the way for Immunisation Leads
Immunisation Leads are critical to delivering the health and societal benefits of vaccination and the routine immunisation schedule. The pressures of modern primary care, and competing demands for time and resources, can impact vaccination rates and lead to substantial variation across practices, as well as overall patient care.
Vaccine uptake is declining and there is a need to address the issues. The role of Immunisation Lead and someone advocating for and being confident in the immunisation is really important in primary care.
