Book VaccinationWhy Covid vaccination still matters
Covid-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Vaccines reduce the chance of severe symptoms, hospital admission and death if you catch it. They also help slow the spread of the virus, which protects people around you who are more vulnerable, including older people and those with long-term health conditions.
Who is usually offered a vaccine
NHS Covid vaccination is offered to eligible groups, and the groups included can change from one programme to the next. People with underlying health conditions or weakened immune systems are among those at higher risk from Covid-19. Please check with our team rather than relying on previous years. Our pharmacist will confirm whether the vaccine is suitable for you on the day.
On the day of your vaccination
Wear a top that makes it easy to reach your upper arm. Our pharmacist will give you information about the vaccine before it is given, so this is a good moment to mention any health conditions, allergies or medicines and to ask any questions you have.
Afterwards
Any soreness, tiredness or aching is usually short-lived. If you are worried about how you feel after your vaccine, contact your local branch for advice.
If you are also due a flu jab, you can read about our flu vaccinations. Visit our NHS services page for everything else we offer.
Covid vaccination questions
Am I eligible for an NHS Covid vaccine?
Eligibility is set by the NHS for each vaccination programme and can change from one season to the next. Please contact your nearest branch and our team will check whether you are currently eligible and when vaccines are available.
How does a Covid-19 vaccine work?
Covid-19 vaccines train your immune system to recognise the virus. If you are exposed to it later, your body is better prepared to fight it off, which lowers the risk of serious illness.
What side effects might I have?
Common side effects include a sore arm where the injection was given, tiredness, a mild fever and aching muscles. These usually pass within a short time and are much milder than Covid-19 itself. Our pharmacist will go through this with you before your vaccination.
Can I still have the vaccine if I have had Covid before?
Having had Covid-19 does not usually rule you out. Protection from a previous infection may not be as strong or long-lasting as protection from vaccination. If you are eligible, our pharmacist can talk this through with you.
Do I need to book in advance?
Covid vaccinations may be offered by appointment or on a walk-in basis, depending on the branch and current supply. Booking ahead or calling your branch first is the best way to avoid a wasted journey.
