COVID Vaccinations
Free NHS COVID-19 vaccinations are offered to eligible groups each season; private jabs at some pharmacies typically cost £45-£99. Check your eligibility.
Many community pharmacies deliver the NHS seasonal COVID-19 vaccination programme, which is free for the eligible cohorts announced each season — in recent seasons that has included older adults, residents of care homes for older people, and people with weakened immune systems, but the groups are reviewed every season, so check NHS.uk for the current eligibility before you book. Eligible patients are usually invited to book via the NHS App, the national booking service, or 119, and many pharmacies also accept walk-ins during the campaign. If you're not eligible for the NHS programme, some pharmacies and private clinics offer a private COVID-19 vaccination, typically costing £45-£99 (indicative — check the provider's current price). Flu jabs are often offered at the same visit where appropriate. Find participating pharmacies through our location pages at /pharmacies/locations/.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for a free NHS COVID-19 vaccination?▼
Eligibility is set each season and has recently included older adults, residents of care homes for older people, and people who are immunosuppressed. The exact age bands and clinical groups change between seasons, so check NHS.uk or the NHS App for the current criteria rather than relying on last year's rules.
How much does a private COVID-19 vaccination cost?▼
Private COVID-19 vaccination at UK pharmacies typically costs £45-£99 per dose (indicative range — prices vary by provider, so confirm the current price before booking). Availability of private jabs is more limited than flu jabs, so check ahead.
Can I get my flu jab and COVID jab at the same appointment?▼
Usually yes — the NHS commonly offers flu and COVID-19 vaccinations together during the autumn campaign where both are due, and it's considered safe to have them at the same visit. If you're paying privately for one of them, ask the pharmacy whether they can be combined.
Do I need to book a COVID vaccination at a pharmacy?▼
For the NHS programme, booking via the NHS App, the national booking service, or 119 is the usual route, though many pharmacies run walk-in sessions during the campaign. Private vaccinations are booked directly with the pharmacy or clinic.
Which pharmacies offer COVID vaccinations?▼
Thousands of community pharmacies take part in the NHS seasonal campaign, and a smaller number offer private vaccination. Use our location pages at /pharmacies/locations/ to find pharmacies near you, and check NHS.uk for live site finders during each campaign.
