Moulton Park COVID-19 Vaccination Centre Booking System Privacy Policy

This privacy notice was originally published on 22/01/2021.

It was updated on the 09/03/2021 to reflect changes made to the way in which bookings for the Moulton Park vaccination centre are made.

The Department of Health and Social Care has implemented a COVID-19 national vaccination programme. A vaccination centre has been set up at Moulton Park, Northampton to deliver the vaccine to the general public in line with the government’s vaccination priority order.

All vaccination appointments will be made via the National Booking System. You can view the privacy notice for this system here. More information about the system can be found here.

Important Information for Key Workers who booked an appointment at the Moulton Park Vaccination Centre prior to 15/02/2021.

Up until 15/02/2021, appointments for the first dose of the vaccine for staff working in key roles were recorded using a bespoke appointment booking system. This is because the National Booking Centre had not been set up to accept 1st appointment bookings for staff working in key roles.

This system was developed by Kettering General Hospital (the Processor) on behalf of Northampton General Hospital (the Controller).

Access to the system was provided to named individuals working at authorised organisations. These individuals were provided with credentials to allow the booking of 1st vaccination appointments for themselves and for their colleagues.

This information was used by the staff at the Moulton Park Vaccination Centre to identify how many people were booked for vaccinations and to manage vaccinations on a daily basis. Records of attendance may have been recorded in the system however information about vaccinations was not stored on the booking system. This is recorded on the national vaccination system, Pinnacle.

The information below describes the processing of this data. This does not apply to any second appointment bookings or bookings made after 15/02/2021.
