Coronavirus Vaccine Service

The spring 2024 booster campaign has now closed as of 30th June 2024.

We will resume in October 2024 with the flu and autumn covid vaccination programme.

We vaccinated our first patient with the COVID-19 vaccine on the 20th of January 2021, and have been commissioned by the NHS to carry out this service to eligible patients from our premises at 159-161 London Road, Hemel Hempstead.

Appointments are booked either through 119 or going on https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/

If we are not appearing on the NHS Booking Service website, it may mean we are fully booked that week, and you may wish to check again later for cancellations or once more appointment times are published. Our appointments are generally offered seven days a week from 8am to 8pm. 

We do not maintain a reserve list but on some days we can vaccinate walk-ins without an appointment. Please call or email us to check (contact details on pharmacy page)

At Hemel Hempstead: The vaccination service operates from a separate part of the building from our pharmacy, and should be accessed from a separate door to the left of the main pharmacy and GP practice entrances. You need to check-in with our arrivals steward who will confirm your appointment time and check your temperature, before being invited to enter the waiting area when it is your turn to have your vaccination. For this reason, please do not arrive any earlier than five minutes before your appointment time.

You may only be accompanied by one person if you need assistance with mobility or communication. Otherwise, only the patient should enter for their appointment. Masks must be worn and hand sanitiser is provided. 

If you need to cancel your appointment for whatever reason, please do so through the National Booking System, either via their website or Helpdesk. 

If you are unable to cancel your appointment through the NBS, email your details including appointment date and time to pharmacy.fm858@nhs.net

At Hemel Hempstead: Whilst there is some on-street parking (20 minutes Monday to Saturday 8am-6pm) and a paid council car park on Durrants Hill Road, Dunelm across the road from us have kindly offered the use of their car park for vaccination patients to use until they reopen.  We are also served by local bus routes and are a short walk from Apsley station, for patients who are travelling by rail.
