Identify patients for vaccination

General practice can use GP systems to identify patients in cohort 6, so that they can be invited for vaccination.

A search using nationally assured SNOMED codes is now available in GP systems to help primary care networks identify individuals who fall under the Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation’s priority cohort 6 for coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination.

The search will identify patients with underlying health conditions and people who are registered as carers at a GP practice.

The SNOMED codes have been identified in line with chapter 14 of Public Health England’s Green Book, which contains vaccination information for public health professionals. To view the national technical specification for this search, register on the PRIMIS website.

Further information

You should have received information about how to use the cohort six search directly from your system supplier.
