NHS UK COVID-19 Vaccination Booking
Use this service to book a coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination or manage your appointments. If you’ve already booked a vaccination appointment through a GP or local NHS service, you do not need to book again using this service.
Who Can Use This Service?
You can only use this service if any of the following apply:
** you’re aged 40 or over
** you’ll turn 40 before 1 July 2021
** you’re at high risk from COVID-19 (clinically extremely vulnerable)
** you have a condition that puts you at higher risk (clinically vulnerable)
** you have a learning disability
** you get a Carer’s Allowance, get support following an assessment by your local authority or your GP record shows you’re a carer
If you’re an eligible unpaid carer but you cannot book an appointment, speak to your GP surgery.
Book Your Appointments
You need to:
** have 2 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine at 2 appointments
** book both appointments at the same time
** get the 2nd dose 11 to 12 weeks after getting your 1st dose
You can use this service for someone else. If you’ve had a positive COVID-19 test, you should wait 4 weeks from the date you had the test before you book an appointment.
If you’re pregnant, or think you might be, speak to your GP surgery to book your appointment instead of using this service. This is so your appointment can be arranged at a vaccination centre offering the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccine.
Manage Your Appointments
If you already have appointments booked, you can:
** view your appointments
** cancel your appointments
** book appointments again
We will ask you some questions first, so we can find your bookings.

How effective is the COVID-19 vaccine?
** The 1st dose of the COVID-19 vaccine should give you good protection from COVID-19 from 3 or 4 weeks after you’ve had it.
** But you need to have the 2 doses of the vaccine to give you longer lasting protection.
** There is a chance you might still get or spread COVID-19 even if you have the vaccine.
How safe is the COVID-19 vaccine?
** The vaccines approved for use in the UK have met strict standards of safety, quality and effectiveness set out by the independent Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
** Any COVID-19 vaccine that is approved must go through all the clinical trials and safety checks all other licensed medicines go through. The MHRA follows international standards of safety.
** Other vaccines are being developed. They will only be available on the NHS once they have been thoroughly tested to make sure they are safe and effective.
** So far, millions of people have been given a COVID-19 vaccine and reports of serious side effects, such as allergic reactions or clotting problems, have been very rare.
