Covid-19 vaccinations for Herefordshire residents
Covid-19 booster vaccine
Every person aged 5+ is now eligible for Covid-19 vaccination and most people are eligible for a booster dose.
- Details of all walk-ins in Herefordshire are available on the Taurus Healthcare website
- You can book online using the NHS Covid-19 vaccination booking page or call 119
If you are concerned about any aspect of vaccination and your health, or about attending your vaccine appointment, please use the following information:

The level of protection offered by vaccines can begin to wane after time. The booster will help extend the protection you gained from your first two doses and reduce the risk of you needing admission to hospital due to Covid-19 infection this winter.
If you are also invited for a flu vaccination and you are eligible for a booster Covid-19 jab, you can have both vaccinations at the same time.
Read more about the Covid-19 booster on the GOV.UK website.

If you are not well when it is your appointment
You should not attend a vaccination appointment if you are self-isolating, waiting for a Covid-19 test or within 4 weeks of having a positive Covid-19 test or if you are unsure if you are fit and well.
If you are not feeling well, wait until you feel better to have your vaccination. You should try to have it as soon as possible. You can call the same number that you used to make your first appointment or manage your vaccination appointment online.
When you are vaccinated
You will be given a Covid-19 vaccination card.
Keep your card safe and make sure you go to your second appointment to get your second injection and take your card.
You can also check your vaccination status online on the NHS website.
