What Is a Private COVID Vaccine?
A private COVID vaccine is a vaccination that you arrange and pay for yourself rather than receiving through a publicly funded vaccination programme.
The purpose of the vaccination is the same: to help your immune system recognise and respond to the virus that causes COVID-19.
The main difference is how you access the service.
With a private vaccination, you can contact the provider directly to ask about availability, suitability and the current price.
Why Consider a Private COVID Vaccination?
People may choose private vaccination for different reasons.
For some, it provides an alternative when they are not eligible for a publicly funded vaccination. Others may prefer the convenience of arranging an appointment directly with a private provider.
A Private COVID Vaccination May Be Worth Considering If You:
Private vaccination is paid for by the patient, and availability can depend on vaccine supply and the provider’s current service.

Who Can Get a Private COVID Vaccine?
Private COVID vaccination may be available to people who want vaccination outside a publicly funded programme, provided the vaccine is considered suitable for them.
However, vaccination is not automatically appropriate for everyone.
Before administering the vaccine, a qualified healthcare professional will ask relevant questions about your health, previous vaccinations, allergies and any other factors that could affect whether vaccination is suitable.
This assessment helps the healthcare professional identify any reasons why vaccination may need to be delayed or avoided.
Do You Need to Be Eligible for a Publicly Funded COVID Vaccine?
No. One reason people choose a private COVID vaccine is that private vaccination does not rely on meeting the eligibility criteria for a publicly funded programme.
Instead, you pay for the vaccination yourself and undergo the provider’s suitability assessment.
This can make private vaccination an option for people who want COVID vaccination but do not qualify for a publicly funded dose.
Eligibility and availability for public vaccination programmes can change, so private vaccination should be considered separately from those programmes.
Do You Need a GP Referral?
You do not generally need a GP referral to arrange a private COVID vaccination appointment at Pharmacyexprezz.
You can contact the pharmacy directly and arrange an appointment. Pharmacyexprezz provides a private COVID vaccination service that includes a consultation with a trained healthcare professional before vaccination.
If you have a complex medical history or are unsure whether vaccination is appropriate for you, discuss this with the healthcare professional during the consultation.

Are There Reasons You May Need to Delay Vaccination?
There can be circumstances in which vaccination may need to be delayed or requires additional consideration.
This does not mean that vaccination will necessarily be unsuitable. The purpose of the pre-vaccination assessment is to determine whether vaccination is appropriate at that particular time.
Always provide accurate information during your consultation so the healthcare professional can make an appropriate assessment.
How Much Does a Private COVID Vaccine Cost?
Private vaccination is paid for by the patient, and prices can change depending on the vaccine and provider.

Check the current price when booking, as private vaccine pricing and availability can change.
What Should You Expect After a COVID Vaccination?
As with other vaccinations, some people experience temporary effects after receiving a COVID vaccine.
What to Expect After Your Jab
Side effects are usually mild and disappear within a few days.
These effects are generally temporary.
If you develop symptoms that concern you after vaccination, seek appropriate medical advice.
Can You Have a Private COVID Vaccine If You Have Had One Before?
Previous COVID vaccination does not necessarily mean that you cannot receive another vaccination.
The appropriate vaccination schedule depends on factors such as the vaccine being offered, previous doses, your age and individual circumstances.
Tell the healthcare professional about previous COVID vaccinations during your consultation. This allows them to consider your vaccination history when assessing whether the current vaccination is appropriate.
Can You Have a COVID Vaccine Before Travelling?
If you are considering vaccination before travelling, it is sensible to plan ahead.
Some destinations may have specific health requirements, although COVID vaccination requirements vary by country and can change.
A private COVID vaccination is not a substitute for checking the current entry requirements for your destination.
If you are travelling, check the requirements for your destination separately and allow sufficient time to arrange any recommended vaccinations.
