Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the different fee levels for administering individual covid-19 vaccination doses that have been applicable since the programme began are; and how much has been paid as of 4 January 2022.

To 30 November 2021, the fee applied to all doses administered by a Primary Care Network (PCN) or community pharmacy site was £12.58. Between 1 December 2021 to 31 January 2022, in order to accelerate the booster vaccination programme, this standard fee was increased to £15 per dose. This applied to any dose administered from Monday-Saturday. For any dose administered on a Sunday or Bank Holiday between 1 December 2021 to 31 January 2022, an increased £20 fee was applicable. This was also applied to any dose administered between 25 December 2021 and 3 January 2022.

Since 14 December 2020, PCN and community pharmacy sites could claim the relevant Item of Service (IoS) fee plus an additional £10 for each dose administered to housebound patients during the specified time period. From 16 September 2021 to 12 December 2021, the standard housebound supplement per dose was increased to £30 per dose for third or booster dose. Between 1 December 2021 to 31 January 2022, the IoS fee plus an additional £10 could be claimed for each dose administered to severely immunosuppressed patients. PCN and Community Pharmacy sites can claim the IoS fee plus an additional £10 for each dose administered to clinically extremely vulnerable 12 to 15 year olds.

The information requested as of 4 January 2022 is not held centrally.
