Private and NHS COVID boosters
Protect yourself against COVID-19 with convenient vaccination appointments at Well Pharmacy.
Looking for COVID vaccinations near you? Well Pharmacy offers COVID-19 booster appointments for adults and eligible children aged 12+.
While COVID-19 is no longer causing widespread disruption in the way it once did, the virus continues to circulate throughout the year. In England alone, almost 17,000 cases have been reported so far in 2026,* and new variants can circulate over time, with the Cicade variant currently under monitoring by the World Health Organisation1. Protection from previous jabs and infections can reduce over time, so staying up to date with your vaccinations can help lower your risk of becoming seriously unwell if you catch the virus.
Simply book online in a matter of minutes and you can receive your vaccination at your local Well Pharmacy, at a date and time that suits you.

Why should you get a COVID booster?
Unlike seasonal viruses like flu and RSV, COVID doesn't tend to follow a regular pattern throughout the year. Surges in infections are often linked to new variants, making it less predictable to follow. As a result, immunity can wane over time – even if you've been vaccinated previously or had the virus before.
Keeping up to date with your COVID vaccine can help:
- Refresh your immunity
- Reduce your risk of severe illness
- Lower your chance of hospitalisation
- Improve protection against newer variants
- Help protect vulnerable people around you
