Community pharmacy BOOSTER COVID-19 vaccination service

The majority of Community Pharmacies are able to provide the Moderna COVID-19 booster to those who are eligible.

Those currently able to access a Moderna  booster vaccination via community pharmacy are:

• Frontline Health and Social Care Workers (with direct patient contact) aged 18 years or over can now get a booster from 3 months after completion of their primary vaccination course
• Those aged 18 years and over for whom it has been at least 3 months since their primary vaccination course has been completed.
• Carers (aged 18 years or over)
• Those who are severely immunosuppressed* (aged 18 years or over) can now get a booster from 3 months after completion of their primary vaccination course
• Household contacts of immunosuppressed individuals* (aged 18 years of over) can now get a booster from 3 months after completion of their primary vaccination course

*Please note you will have received a letter, i.e., from trust or GP, and you will be required to evidence this to the pharmacy.

You must have completed your primary COVID-19 vaccination course (for most people this is 2 doses) before getting the booster vaccination.

If you are pregnant and would like more advice about vaccinations for pregnant women, please see Frequently Asked Questions.
