Spring COVID 2026 Vaccination Service – Murrays Chemist

Protect Yourself This Spring

COVID-19 continues to circulate, particularly affecting older adults and those with weakened immune systems. The Spring COVID-19 booster programme is designed to top up protection and reduce the risk of serious illness, hospitalisation, and complications.

At Murrays Chemist, we are providing convenient, face-to-face COVID-19 vaccinations delivered by an experienced clinical pharmacist.

Who Is Eligible for the Spring Booster?

Eligibility for the Spring 2026 COVID-19 booster programme has been updated in line with national guidance.

You may be eligible if you are:

• Adults aged 75 years and over
• Residents in care homes for older adults
• Individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed

Examples of immunosuppression may include:

• Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy
• Organ transplant recipients
• Individuals on immunosuppressive medications
• Patients with certain blood cancers or immune disorders

If you are unsure about your eligibility, our team can assess this during your visit.

How to Get Your Vaccine

We have made access as straightforward as possible:

• Walk-in service available
• Online booking available for convenience

Walk-in Times:

• Monday to Friday: 9:00am – 5:00pm

No appointment is required during these hours, but booking ahead is recommended to avoid waiting.

Important Information About This Service

• This is an in-pharmacy service only
• We are not providing home visits or housebound vaccinations
• All patients must be able to attend the pharmacy in person

Why Get Vaccinated Again?

Immunity from previous COVID-19 vaccines or infections can reduce over time. The spring booster:

• Enhances protection against current circulating variants

For high-risk patients, this top-up is clinically important.

• Safe administration of the vaccine
• Aftercare advice

The process typically takes 10–15 minutes, with a short observation period if required.
