COVID-19 Vaccinations

COVID-19 vaccination appointments are booked centrally through the NHS. Use the NHS website, NHS App, or call 119 to book, change or cancel your appointment when seasonal campaigns are running.

Local clinic experience: We ran Corby's dedicated vaccination centre during the pandemic. We know how to run safe, efficient, and calm clinics.

How the COVID-19 vaccination service works

The COVID-19 vaccine is given as an injection. Appointments are managed through the NHS central booking system during seasonal campaigns.

1

NHS invite / eligibility

The NHS contacts eligible people when seasonal COVID-19 vaccination is available. Check eligibility when booking opens.

2

Book via the NHS

Book, change or cancel through the NHS website or NHS App. Call 119 if you cannot book online.

3

Attend & aftercare

Attend at your booked location and time. You'll receive information after your vaccination.

Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine

Eligibility can change between seasonal campaigns. The most accurate way to confirm eligibility is to check on NHS.uk when you book.

Check your eligibility when booking is open.
Use the NHS booking page to check eligibility and availability. If you're eligible, you can book an appointment at an NHS vaccination site near you.

Remember: booking is via the NHS

The pharmacy cannot book COVID-19 vaccination appointments directly. All bookings must be made through the NHS central booking system via NHS.uk, the NHS App, or by calling 119.
