Frequently Asked Questions
How effective is the COVID-19 vaccine?
Is the COVID-19 vaccine safe?
Yes. COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in the UK have gone through rigorous clinical trials and are continuously monitored for safety by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Side effects are typically mild and short-lived, such as a sore arm, tiredness, or a slight temperature. Serious side effects are very rare. Our pharmacists will discuss your medical history before administration to ensure the vaccine is appropriate for you.
Am I eligible for a free COVID-19 vaccination or booster?
The COVID-19 vaccination is free on the NHS for eligible patients. Eligibility is reviewed regularly by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). Boosters are currently offered to:
• Adults aged 65 and over
• Those with certain underlying health conditions
• People who are immunosuppressed
• Frontline health and social care workers
• Pregnant women (primary course)
It costs you nothing. If you meet the criteria, simply walk in or book an appointment and we’ll take care of the rest.
