In England, the UK Health Security Agency will author the vaccine group directions, which will be drafted by clinical and public health experts, and will outline the conditions for which the VGD can be used. Once the VGD has been authored, the organisation commissioning the vaccination service must authorise its use and ensure that only fully trained professionals use it. When administering vaccines under the VGD, the assessment and consent must be undertaken by a specified registered healthcare professional, who must also supervise any further delegated tasks.
