An important notice before you continue:
Unfortunately our current vaccine supplier, Novovax, are stopping supply of their Covid-19 boosters. This means we are moving to a different supplier from Sunday 1st December. As such, our new Covid-19 service price is £87.
A great thing about this switch is that we don’t have to run the Covid-19 service as a full-day clinic any more - you can book a day and time that suits you, giving you more freedom!
Need your Covid booster? Look no further.
This Winter vaccinations season, we’re offering the Covid-19 Vaccine!
Due to the prevalence of Winter viruses such as the flu, Covid-19, RSV and pneumonia, it is recommended that if you want an annual vaccine, you can do so right up until the end of the Winter season (end March 2025).
What is the Covid-19 vaccine?
The Covid vaccine we use is called Spikevax, and as above, it functions as a booster for people who have previously been vaccinated for Covid.
We’ve included the patient information leaflet here. This is guidance published by the manufacturer that details everything about the vaccine, from its ingredients to possible side effects, and who can or cannot have the vaccine.
The Covid Vaccine - FAQs
-
The Covid-19 vaccine we offer functions as a booster for people who have previously had a full vaccination for Covid.
It is recommended to receive this jab annually, at the start of each Winter season, as this covers the period where Covid-19 and other viral respiratory infections are most prevalent.
You can have the Covid-19 vaccine, no more frequently than every 3 months.
-
To be eligible for a Covid-19 vaccine, you must:
Be over 12 years of age
NOT have received a Covid-19 vaccine this Winter season (since September 2024)
Have NEVER had an allergic or anaphylactic reaction to a Covid-19 vaccine, or any of the vaccine’s ingredients or excipients
NOT be unwell at the time of vaccination
NOT be immunocompromised
Be able and willing to consent to a consultation, prescription, administration of the vaccine and the storing of your data.
-
The Covid-19 vaccine reduces the risk of you contracting Covid, and of you passing it onto other people.
Those who are in close contact with people who are immunocompromised may be recommended to receive the Covid vaccine to protect others.
-
Yes. Vaccines are never 100% effective for everyone, but having a Covid-19 vaccine does reduce the chance of you catching Covid.
The more people are vaccinated, the lower the risk for both people who are vaccinated but for whom the vaccine is not effective; and for people who are not vaccinated.
-
Yes. You can still catch Covid or a number of other viral illnesses after you’ve had the vaccine.
You can reduce the risk of becoming ill by washing your hands regularly, covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and binning dirty and used tissues.
-
Many people are eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine through the NHS. We recommend you contact your GP or local health authority for more information.
If you want the vaccine on the NHS, we unfortunately are unable to assist with this as we are a fully private pharmacy, so you will have to speak to your GP.
-
For each visit you need, you’ll have:
A full consultation with the pharmacist, who will assess the suitability of the vaccine for you and be able to answer any questions you may have
The vaccine prescribed by the pharmacist
A patient-information leaflet from the manufacturers of the vaccine
The vaccine administered by the pharmacist
A comprehensive follow-up document which details the specifics of the vaccine(s) for your information, and for you to forward to your GP
-
The Covid-19 vaccination service costs £87 per person. This is a price increase from our previous vaccines, which as per our notice above, is due to a change in our suppliers.
You can get your Covid-19 and flu vaccines done in the same appointment.
Please see the flu vaccine page to confirm your eligibility. If you’d like the Covid-19 vaccine and the flu vaccine at the same time, you can just book the Covid-19 vaccine and then let us know at the time of your appointment that you’d also like the flu vaccine. The cost of the flu vaccine service is £14.99. Therefore getting your Covid-19 and flu vaccines in the same appointment would cost £101.99.
