As of 23 August 2024 national specimen Patient Group Directions (PGD) have been issued to NHS health boards which support the 2024/25 flu program.

The PGDs can be accessed on our website: 

• PGD for the administration of inactivated influenza vaccine 2024/25 season
• PGD for the administration of live attenuated intranasal influenza vaccine (LAIV) 2024/25 season

The national specimen PGDs for COVID-19 vaccination will be published in advance of the program starting.

Please refer to your locally approved PGD alongside the training materials from NHS National Education for Scotland (NES).
