Before you book your vaccination appointment, please read the following information to make sure it is safe. If you answer yes to any, you may still be able to get your vaccination but you should speak to the vaccination team when you arrive at the centre.
If you are not sure how to answer any of the above, please speak with the vaccination team when you arrive at the vaccination centre.
Please note: signs of an allergic reaction may include itchy skin rash, shortness of breath and swelling of the face or tongue. Contact your doctor or healthcare professional immediately or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you have an allergic reaction. It can be life-threatening.
You can still have a vaccine if you have a mild fever or upper airway infection, like a cold.
If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 infection, you should wait for 4 weeks after your symptoms started before booking a vaccine.
The main symptoms of coronavirus are:
If you tested positive for COVID-19 but have no symptoms, you should wait for 4 weeks after your positive test result before booking a vaccine.
If you are, or have been, in a COVID-19 vaccine trial, please bring a letter or email to your appointment from the trial team saying that you can be safely vaccinated.
If you are part of any other trial this will not prevent you from receiving your vaccine. If you are taking part in a COVID-19 survey can also receive the COVID-19 vaccination.
Please speak to the trial or survey team if you have any questions.
You need a mobile number or email address to book your vaccination online so we can confirm your appointment details. Please check that your details are correct before booking.
If you are in the clinically extremely vulnerable group you need a shielding letter. You will need to show this to the vaccination team when you arrive at your appointment.
If you know your Health and Care Number, this will make the booking process quicker. You can find your number on any letters from the hospital, letters from your GP, on any prescription or on your medical card. You can see this in the middle of the image below.
If you don’t know your Health and Care number, you do not need to find it. You don’t need to ring your GP to ask for it.
Come alone. Please do not bring children, friends or other family with you unless you need assistance.
Don’t come if you have any COVID-19 symptoms or have tested positive.
You must bring your photo ID and proof of your age e.g. Driving License or Passport.
If you are in the clinically extremely vulnerable group (and aged 16 or over at 31st March 2021) you must bring your shielding letter. If you do not have this you will not be able to receive your vaccination.
The vaccination centre staff will check your details before you get your vaccine. The nurse or doctor will ask you some questions for your safety before you get a vaccine – you should answer these as accurately as possible. If you are attending the vaccination centre with someone who is unable to answer these questions, you will need to answer these questions for them. If you are unable to answer these questions we will be unable to give a vaccine and referral back to GP will be advised.
You will be asked to wait for 15 minutes after your vaccination before you can go home. Vaccination centre staff will give you a vaccine card. You should keep this safe and bring it back at your next appointment.
You can now cancel your vaccination appointment online.
You will need your date of birth and a mobile number or email address so we can confirm your identity.
Please note that if you cancel your first vaccination appointment, your second appointment will also be cancelled.
This is because your appointments are made ten weeks apart and they are linked. When you are ready, you can use the online booking system to rebook your vaccination. If you want to cancel your second appointment you will need to call the vaccination centre where you had your first appointment to rebook.
