DH has published this document which outlines high-level guidance on the collection of data to inform prenatal pertussis public health actions. This collection is not designed to be used to inform GP payments. It provides highâlevel guidance on how a PCT might collect and collate data on the Prenatal Pertussis vaccination programme and specific instruction on how to submit vaccine coverage data via the ImmForm website. It also provides suggestions on how PCT immunisation coordinators and primary care will work together to collect local data. However, each PCT is responsible for implementing the Prenatal Pertussis vaccination programme according to its local needs. This guidance includes detailed sections on various aspects of the Prenatal Pertussis Immunisation Programme, the data collection process as well as several appendices.
