Covid Booster Vaccines

The Covid Booster Programme in Devon is now underway. In line with JCVI advice people will receive either one dose of the Pfizer vaccine or half a dose of the Moderna vaccine. 

The National Booking System now allows people to pre-book their booster appointment a month before they are eligible for the dose.  This means that someone could pre-book their jab for the day they reach the three month milestone, rather than waiting days or weeks for a convenient appointment. This change to the booking system will further speed up the booster rollout. 

People can also book by calling 119 or get vaccinated at hundreds of walk-in sites across the country three months after their second dose without an appointment. Those eligible can use the NHS online walk-in finder to locate the most convenient site.

Who can have the booster?

Booster vaccine doses are now being offered to all adults who had their second covid vaccine dose over 3 months ago.

People who are pregnant and in one of the eligible groups can also get a booster dose.

Where can I have the booster?

There are a range of sites where people can have their booster, including English Riviera Centre, Home Park, Greendale, Newton Abbot Racecourse and Barnstaple Leisure Centre and some local pharmacies.  We are also now able to offer these at Woodbury Surgery
