Private COVID Vaccination in Southampton

Need a COVID vaccine but don’t qualify for the NHS service? Book your private COVID-19 jab at Solent Pharmacy, Shirley, Southampton — quick, affordable, and handled by trained professionals.

The private COVID vaccine is a paid service that offers fast and flexible protection against COVID-19 for individuals who are not eligible under NHS guidelines or need an additional dose for travel, work, or personal peace of mind.

How it works?

The vaccine contains a harmless part of the virus, like the spike protein, which prompts your immune system to respond.

Why it matters?

COVID hasn’t gone away. New variants continue to emerge, and periods of high transmission still occur — particularly in winter and during busy travel seasons. If you work in a high-contact setting, plan to travel abroad, or simply want stronger protection, a private vaccine is an easy way to reduce your risk.

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is an illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which spreads through respiratory droplets.

It can present as a mild cold-like infection or develop into severe respiratory illness, especially in vulnerable individuals.

Some people also experience Long COVID, with symptoms that linger for weeks or months after infection.

Symptoms of COVID-19 Include:

High fever
Cough
Loss of taste or smell
Shortness of breath
Headaches
Fatigue

Why Get a Private COVID Vaccine?

Private vaccination is ideal if:

You’re not eligible for the NHS service
You need proof of vaccination for work
You’re travelling and need a booster for entry requirements
You want extra protection in high-contact jobs

Getting vaccinated privately allows you to stay in control of your health and meet external requirements easily.

When to Get the Vaccine

Booster jabs are typically recommended every 6 to 12 months, depending on your circumstances.

The best time is before winter or periods of high travel, when virus circulation tends to increase.

UK COVID Data

The UK has recorded over 24 million cases and more than 230,000 deaths since 2020.

Vaccination continues to be one of the most effective ways to prevent severe illness and surges of new variants.

How the Vaccine Works

The vaccine introduces a harmless part of the virus, triggering your immune system to build a defence.

This means that if you’re exposed later, your body can respond quickly, helping prevent serious illness or hospitalisation.

Common Side Effects

Most people experience mild symptoms that go away within 1–2 days:

Sore arm
Low-grade fever
Headache or fatigue
Muscle aches

⚠️ Serious side effects are extremely rare and closely monitored.
