Getting vaccinated in pharmacies 89K people got the jab at Boots just over 20% of these were in a risk group they could therefore have got a free NHS jab. processes should be in place for GP records to be updated do these immunisations go unrecorded on GP systems? it may be that the official vaccine uptake figures produced, particularly for the under 65 at risks who are more likely to be in employment and less likely to see their GP, underestimate the true vaccine uptake figures. 5
