Time to setup a national vaccination service

Is it time to setup a national vaccination service?

I read yesterday that we might need to give multivalent covid-19 vaccines for some time perhaps along side flu jabs but perhaps on a more than once a year basis and to more than just the traditional flu cohort. Anyone that wants GPs to go back to some sense of normality can’t expect GPs to be doing this every 3-6 months. Flu jabs take up months of GP time each year. Covid-19 jabs seriously disrupt practice. If we need the NHS and primary care to get back to normal we need a separate well run service from proper premises with proper facilities and not staffed by people doing overtime and reliant on unpaid volunteers.

Time to start planning/designing/building now?
