Administration of a COVID-19 vaccine or booster dose by a trained, authorised pharmacist immuniser.

Key benefits:

• Convenient access to vaccination and boosters without a GP visit
• Delivered by a trained, authorised pharmacist immuniser
• Helps protect you and those around you

Recommended dose intervals and eligible age/risk groups for COVID-19 vaccination follow current ATAGI guidance, which is reviewed periodically. 

Your pharmacist will confirm what applies to you and check for any reasons the vaccine may not be suitable. 

Common side effects include soreness at the injection site, tiredness, or mild fever for a day or two. Ask your pharmacist for the relevant Consumer Medicines Information (CMI) for full details.

Before Your Vaccination

Be prepared to discuss:

• Which vaccine brand or dose you’ve had previously, if any
• How long it’s been since your last dose
• Any previous reactions to a COVID-19 vaccine
• Any current health conditions or medicines

During Your Vaccination

Your pharmacist will check your vaccination history and confirm you’re due, based on current ATAGI recommendations for your age and risk group.

Am I eligible for a booster?

This depends on your age, health status, and time since your last dose — your pharmacist can confirm current recommendations.

Can I get my COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as my flu shot?

In many cases yes — ask your pharmacist when you book, as this depends on current guidance and your individual health history.

What side effects might I experience?

Your pharmacist will discuss this with you at the time of vaccination.
