Independent pharmacy chain Well Pharmacy is urging people not to ignore their Covid-19 booster vaccine reminders, as concerns that people may have ‘covid fatigue’ or believe the virus has simply ‘gone away’ surface. The next phase of Covid-19 booster vaccination becomes available from September, and community pharmacies including Well Pharmacy will play an integral role in ensuring those who are eligible for a booster get one.
As summer comes to an end, it has never been more important to ensure that we protect ourselves against Covid19 and the flu virus, warns Well Pharmacy Deputy Superintendent Pharmacist, George Sandhu.
“People should be offered an appointment for their autumn booster between September and December. If you are eligible for a flu vaccine, you may be able to have them both administered at the same time – if not please do go ahead anyway, you can catch up with the other vaccine later.
