What Is the COVID-19 Vaccine?

The COVID-19 vaccine helps your immune system recognise and fight the coronavirus. Vaccines train the immune system to respond quickly if you are exposed to the virus, helping reduce the risk of severe illness.

COVID-19 vaccines used in the UK include vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and other approved manufacturers.

The vaccine is given as an injection in the upper arm, and depending on the programme you may receive initial doses or booster vaccinations.

Who Can Get the COVID-19 Vaccine?

The NHS offers seasonal COVID-19 vaccination programmes to protect people most at risk of severe illness.

Eligible groups may include:

• Adults aged 75 and over 
• Residents in care homes for older adults 
• People with weakened immune systems or serious health conditions

The NHS will usually contact eligible patients when they are able to receive a vaccination.

People may be able to receive the vaccine through:

• Community pharmacies
• GP surgeries
• Vaccination centres
• Walk-in vaccination clinics

How the COVID-19 Vaccination Service Works

Getting vaccinated at Allied Pharmacies is quick and convenient.

Consultation - The pharmacist will check your eligibility and review your medical history and vaccination status.

Vaccination - The vaccine is administered as a small injection in the upper arm in a private consultation room.

Aftercare Advice - Your pharmacist will explain possible side effects and provide advice on what to expect after vaccination.

Most vaccination appointments take around 10–15 minutes.

COVID-19 Booster Vaccines

Booster vaccinations may be recommended to maintain protection against newer variants of the virus.

Booster vaccines help strengthen immunity and reduce the risk of severe illness, particularly for people at higher risk.

Seasonal vaccination programmes are typically offered during spring and autumn in the UK to protect vulnerable groups.
