Useful Resources
Federated Data Platform (FDP)
Vaccines for the COVID-19 vaccination campaign are ordered centrally. Pharmacies taking part in the spring vaccination programme will require Federated Data Platform (FDP) access to order COVID-19 vaccine. A step-by-step guide is available.
If access issues occur, providers should clear their browser cache, switch to Microsoft Edge or use an InPrivate/Incognito window, and paste the link directly into the address bar. Persistent issues are typically caused by local firewall settings: providers should contact their local IT Service Desk for assistance.
