The Department has not issued specific guidance. NHS England and NHS Improvement have issued guidance to staff outlining relevant exemptions and contra-indications which might dictate the type of vaccine an individual should receive. Where there is doubt, rather than withholding vaccination, appropriate advice should be sought from the relevant specialist, or from the local immunisation or health protection team.
