Pneumococcal vaccine

Pharmacists in Scotland will be reimbursed £9.02 plus VAT for each pneumococcal vaccine they supply this year. In addition, they will be paid the usual dispensing fee for each vaccine ordered on a prescription or a £1.26 handling fee per vaccine on stock orders. If vaccines cannot be obtained at the £9.02 price, pharmacists should inform the Scottish Pharmaceutical General Council.
