What to expect from your appointment

Your appointment starts with a short consultation. Your pharmacist will ask about your general health, any medical conditions, current medicines and previous COVID-19 vaccinations, so they can check the vaccine is suitable for you.

If everything is in order, the vaccine is given as a single injection, usually into the upper arm. The whole appointment is straightforward and only takes a few minutes, with most of that time spent on the consultation itself.

You will be asked to stay nearby for a short while afterwards so the team can keep an eye on you, as is usual practice with any vaccination. Your pharmacist will also explain what mild side effects to expect and when you should seek further advice.

Before you come in, it can help to bring a list of your current medicines and think about any questions you want to ask. Wearing something that gives easy access to your upper arm makes things quicker too.

The private COVID-19 vaccination at South Ealing Pharmacy costs £95. You can book your appointment online at a time that suits you, choosing the date and slot that works best for your diary.
