A simple way to get your vaccinations.
Getting vaccinated protects you and those around you against COVID-19. It’s really easy to get vaccinated.
Visit the NHS website, or call 119 to book your appointment at your local and most convenient vaccination site.
Simply attend your chosen site at the time booked – no need to turn up any earlier than scheduled. If you’re running early or late, just get in touch to let us know.
We’ll confirm your name, information and eligibility, and then our Pharmacist will be able to explain the vaccination and take your consent. Our Pharmacist or trained staff member will then administer the vaccine and provide any aftercare advice, after which you will be able to leave unless we need to observe you for a set amount of time.
*On average, we cannot always guarantee this timing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about our Spring COVID Booster campaign below.
Am I eligible for a Spring COVID-19 Booster?
Eligibility requirements for free NHS Spring COVID Boosters are as follows for the 2024 campaign. We can only accept bookings and provide vaccinations for patients in these cohorts:
– patients aged 75 years old or over;
– patients living in a care home for older adults;
– patients aged 6 months old or over, with a weakened immune system.
Our vaccination site can only vaccinate patients aged 18 or over. Please see the age ranges stipulated for each clinic.
Those with a weakened immune system
Patients aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system are eligible for a Spring COVID-19 Booster in 2024. According to the NHS website, you may have a weakened immune system due to a health condition, treatment or medicine, including if you:
– have ever had a blood cancer, such as leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma
– have had an organ, bone marrow or stem cell transplant
– have HIV (at any stage)
– have a genetic disorder affecting your immune system
– have certain medical treatments, such as steroid medicine (depending on your dose), certain antibody therapies, chemotherapy or radiotherapy (including those whose treatment ended up to 6 months ago)
– take certain medicines that increase your risk of infection, such as azathioprine, dexamethasone, prednisolone, ciclosporin or mycophenolate (depending on your dose)
– take long-term immunosuppressive treatment for conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, scleroderma and psoriasis
If you are unsure, please speak to your pharmacist, GP or specialist for advice. You can also confirm your eligibility with the healthcare professional at your vaccination appointment.
This list is a summary and does not cover everything. Read a full definition of weakened immune system (immunosuppressed) in the COVID-19 chapter of the green book on GOV.UK.
How do I book a COVID Vaccination?
Bookings must be made online via the NHS Website, or via the Booking Service by calling 119.
Using the booking system will display all vaccination sites locally to you with appointment availability. You can then book an appointment at any local vaccination site that is suitable for you. To find our sites near the top, you can always put our pharmacy postcode (as shown above with our clinic times) when asked, in order to find our sites near the top. We look forward to welcoming you to our site.
Bookings for 2024 Spring Boosters open on the morning of Monday 15th April.
Do you offer walk-in vaccinations?
Unfortunately we aren’t currently offering walk-in vaccinations, unless at the pharmacist’s discretion if spare vaccine is available. Bookings must be made online, or by calling 119.
Later in the campaign, we may provide walk-in-vaccinations depending upon demand and uptake. We will update this page if this becomes available.
Are there any age limitations at your sites?
Our clinics are at present only able to those aged 18 or over. Eligible patients under 18 may attend other sites (which can be found via the NHS website), or receive their vaccination via a participating GP surgery.
Are you offering private COVID-19 vaccinations?
We are not currently able to offer private COVID-19 vaccinations. We will provide updates on our website and social media channels if these become available for patients.
