Record a vaccination service
Find out about the NHS Record a vaccination service (RAVS), including who can use it and how to onboard.
About the system
NHS Record a vaccination service (RAVS) allows you to record RSV, pertussis, COVID-19, and flu vaccinations. Every vaccination recorded in RAVS automatically appears in the GP system the following day.
NHS England developed RAVS to provide a streamlined, NHS-owned Point-of-Care (POC) system that makes it easier and quicker to record vaccinations. It was designed in collaboration with users of other POC systems across various delivery settings to ensure it meets the needs of end users.
The service went live in September 2024. We are committed to continually improving it. We encourage users to provide feedback and take part in user research to help shape the service.
Who can use this system
The vaccinations you can record in RAVS depend on your delivery setting.
