- Consider the objective you are trying to achieve/purpose for collecting the data.
- If you do need to collect vaccination data, can you identify a legal basis under UK GDPR?
- Ensure the security and confidentiality of the information
- Be open and transparent with staff
- Document everything and maintain a retention policy
