Childhood Immunisation Payments
Practices must submit details of all childhood vaccinations on a quarterly basis. PCSE then calculates the payment and childhood vaccinations are paid six months in arrears.
Prior to April 2021, this was done via Open Exeter. The process is now changing and practices will find important information about submitting data for January 2021 and all future data below.
January 2021 Cohort
Practices can still access the January cohort via Open Exeter and will have until 1 May to submit data. After 1 May, when practices log into Open Exeter, they will be presented with a screen to advise the deadline has passed.
What if I miss the 1 May deadline?
If a practice misses the deadline and still need to submit data for the January cohort, they will need to:
April 2021 Onwards
Please note the Childhood Immunisation DES will cease from the 1 April 2021 and replaced with item of service payments, and a new vaccination and immunisation domain within QOF.
From 1 April 2021, practices and commissioners will review and approve activity for Childhood immunisation data in CQRS that has been extracted from practice clinical systems on a monthly basis.
From 1 June 2021, historic data regarding childhood immunisation payments will be available to access via the new online Payments service via PCSE Online.
