Question

To ask the Scottish Government what information it has regarding the percentage of staff in (a) the NHS, (b) care homes and (c) childcare settings who have received the winter 2024-25 influenza vaccine.


Answer

The publicly available data on NHS workers who have received the flu vaccine is available via Public Health Scotland’s (PHS) surveillance website PHS Vaccination Surveillance.

This is detailed as 'All Healthcare Workers' and uptake currently sits at 35.6% as of 26 January 2025.

The uptake for NHS, care home and childcare staff are not further categorised, therefore that data is not available.

PHS’s vaccination surveillance dashboard is updated monthly.
