Cumbria PRIMIS Informatics have developed a suite of reports to maximise the uptake of influenza vaccination whilst minimising the burden on general practice. With permissions, Cumbria PRIMIS Informatics have allowed CDRC to share these reports to support practices with their influenza vaccination uptake.
Please note, these searches are provisional and will be updated in line with any changes to national guidance.
Accessing the Influenza & RSV Population Reporting Searches 2025 – 2026
Until recently, CDRC’s EMIS Population Reports have been made available to access directly from the CDRC website. However, this has meant that there is no way of ensuring that they are being used appropriately and updated as necessary, representing a risk.
You can still access these reports directly from the CDRC team by emailing contact-cdrc@healthinnovationnenc.org.uk ; a member of the CDRC team will be able to provide access to the required reports and any ongoing support.
We endeavour this to be a short-term solution as CDRC are working on a comprehensive support suite, which in the long-term will benefit GP practices using these resources, by providing a more in depth & ongoing support system.
Guidance on the Influenza & RSV Population Reporting Searches
The searches within the Data Quality folder can be used to identify any patients who may have been vaccinated but need to have the “Needs Influenza Immunisation” code added to their record to ensure that the vaccination is picked up by CQRS. There are two searches within the Data Quality folder:
This search will identify patients in the EMIS Recall Searches (based on the green book at risk cohorts) who have been vaccinated but the clinical code is not included in the Enhanced Service business rules. These patients should be coded with the “Needs Influenza Immunisation” code.
This search will pick up any patients who have been vaccinated but they do not have a code included in the EMIS Recall searches or the Enhanced Services business rules. We recommend that these patients should be checked and the reason for the vaccination should be recorded in freetext along with the “Needs Influenza Immunisation” code.
The Data Quality searches should be run during the first 5 days of the month so that any coding can be added prior to the GPES extract taking place. To run the searches for the required month, please run
