A number of High Street chemists and private clinics sell and administer the Pfizer Covid vaccine directly to the public.

The cost per single dose varies but is typically between £75 and £99.

You need to be aged 12 or above, and must not have had a Covid vaccine in the previous three months. You also need to talk to a health professional to check that it is suitable.

A protein-based booster vaccine made by Novavax, which works differently to the Pfizer and Moderna jabs, is also available.

Moderna hopes to launch a combined flu and Covid vaccine later in 2025 or 2026, after the jab passed a vital part of final-stage scientific checks in June 2024.

Pfizer is also testing a similar two-in-one vaccine against flu and Covid.
