NHS COVID-19 VACCINATION
THIS VACCINE IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF PROTECTING YOURSELF IF YOU ARE AT RISK OF SEVERE COVID-19.
The vaccine is modified each year to incorporate the new variant. Vaccinations usually begin in October with those most at risk, including adult care home residents and people who are immunosuppressed being asked to come forward first.
YOU OR YOUR CHILD MAY BE OFFERED THE VACCINE IF YOU ARE:
• aged 65 years old or over
• aged 6 months to 64 years old and are at increased risk
• living in a care home for older adults
• a frontline health or social care worker
• aged 16 to 64 years old and are a carer
• aged 12 to 64 years old and live with someone with a weakened immune system
This is then followed by others in priority order of risk. At Honeycomb Pharmacy, we run a walk-in service for those eligible or if you prefer you can book an appointment on the National Booking Service (please note, the live dates for the booking service varies year on year).
If you are not eligible for a Covid Vaccine under the NHS but would still like to be vaccinated, please contact our Pharmacy for a Private Covid Vaccination.
