COVID-19 continues to circulate and can cause illness ranging from mild symptoms to more serious complications. At Walbrook Pharmacy, we offer a private COVID-19 Vaccination service to help protect you and those around you.

Our service is delivered from our City of London pharmacy, providing convenient access for individuals who live or work in Central London and would like protection without long waiting times.

Vaccination remains one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and to support wider public health.

What Is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It spreads mainly through respiratory droplets and close contact, particularly in indoor or crowded environments.

Symptoms can vary widely and may include:

• Fever or chills
• Cough or sore throat
• Fatigue
• Headache or muscle aches
• Loss or change of taste or smell

While many people recover fully, COVID-19 can be more serious for older adults, people with underlying health conditions, and those with weakened immune systems.

What Is the COVID-19 Vaccination?

The COVID-19 vaccination helps your immune system recognise and respond to the virus, reducing the risk of severe illness and complications.

COVID-19 vaccines:

• Help reduce the risk of serious illness and hospitalisation
• Support faster recovery if infection occurs
• Reduce the spread of infection within communities
• Help protect vulnerable individuals

Vaccination recommendations may change over time as guidance is updated. Our clinicians stay informed to ensure vaccines are provided appropriately and safely.

How Our COVID-19 Vaccination Service Works

Booking an Appointment

Appointments can be booked in advance at a time that suits you. This helps ensure vaccine availability and a smooth experience.

Pre-Vaccination Assessment

Before vaccination, a trained clinician will ask questions about your health, medications and vaccination history to confirm the vaccine is appropriate for you.

Vaccination

The COVID-19 vaccine is administered as an injection, usually into the upper arm. The process is quick and straightforward.

Aftercare Advice

After your vaccination, you’ll receive guidance on what to expect, including when protection begins and possible side effects. Most people can return to normal activities shortly after.

Is the COVID-19 Vaccine Safe?

COVID-19 vaccines used in the UK have undergone rigorous testing and continue to be monitored for safety.

Common side effects are usually mild and short-lived and may include:

• Soreness or redness at the injection site
• Fatigue
• Mild fever
• Headache or muscle aches

Serious side effects are rare. Your clinician will discuss any risks or concerns before vaccination.

COVID-19 Vaccination and Ongoing Protection

Immunity from vaccination can reduce over time, and new variants may emerge. Keeping your COVID-19 vaccinations up to date helps maintain protection and reduce the risk of severe illness.

Our pharmacy team can provide general information on current vaccination recommendations and suitability.
