About Our COVID Vaccine Service

Who Can Get the COVID Vaccine?
COVID vaccine eligibility is set nationally and can change by campaign. NHS guidance currently says you may be able to get a free COVID-19 vaccine if you are:
- Aged 75 or over
- Aged 6 months to 74 years and have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment
- Living in a care home for older adults
The NHS says COVID-19 vaccinations will be available again in autumn 2026, and eligible people will be contacted if their NHS record suggests they may be eligible.
Because eligibility can change, patients should always check the latest NHS guidance or speak to the pharmacy team before trying to book.

Is the COVID Vaccine Free?

NHS England says pharmacy contractors providing COVID vaccinations must only vaccinate patients who are eligible under authorised JCVI cohorts and only during dates announced by the commissioner.
This means not everyone can receive an NHS COVID vaccine at any time. If you are unsure, contact Fullwell Pharmacy and our team can advise you based on current guidance.
What to Bring or Tell the Pharmacy Team
To help the pharmacy team assess you safely, please be ready to discuss:
- Your age

- Whether you have a weakened immune system
- Current medicines
- Allergies
- Previous vaccine reactions
- Recent COVID infection or illness
- Previous COVID vaccine history
- Whether you live in a care home for older adults
- Any NHS invitation or booking reference
NHS England states that patients should not be denied vaccination just because they do not have an NHS number or are not registered with a GP, but eligibility and campaign rules still apply.
When Should You Delay or Ask for Advice?
You should speak to the pharmacy team before vaccination if you are currently unwell, have a high temperature, have had a serious allergic reaction to a vaccine before, or are unsure whether the vaccine is suitable.
The pharmacist or vaccination team will advise whether you can be vaccinated or whether it is better to wait.
