NHS Eligibility for Free COVID-19 Vaccination
For autumn 2025, the NHS is offering free COVID-19 vaccinations using the Pfizer KP.2 formulation, available only to the following groups:
Our Oxford and Deddington pharmacies offer the Pfizer LP.8.1 vaccine (latest variant update) for those not eligible on the NHS or preferring private access, aligned to variants “Nimbus” and “Stratus”.
This service is not recommended for individuals who have received a COVID vaccination within the past three months or who have experienced a severe allergic reaction to any previous vaccinations.
COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
It spreads mainly through respiratory droplets or close contact and can cause fever, cough, sore throat, tiredness, or loss of taste or smell.
Most people recover within weeks, though some develop severe illness or long-term symptoms (long COVID), especially with existing health conditions.
Immunity declines over time, and new variants continue to appear, so staying up to date with vaccination remains important.
For autumn 2025, the NHS offers free vaccination with the Pfizer KP.2 formulation only to:
Those not eligible or preferring private access can attend our pharmacies for the Pfizer LP.8.1 vaccine – latest variant update, aligned to strains “Nimbus” (NB.1.8.1) and “Stratus” (XFG).
✅ Stronger defence against serious illness from COVID-19
❤️ May reduce your risk of lingering symptoms or complications.
🧬 Updated vaccine provides better protection against emerging strains.
Quick, simple booking process with appointments available throughout the week
Eligible patients, especially those aged 75+ or immunocompromised, are encouraged to get the updated COVID-19 vaccine this autumn.
Some patients may require a second dose 6 months after the first for optimal protection.
COVID-19 symptoms may differ from person to person, but the most common include fever, persistent coughing, sore throat, and a loss or alteration of taste or smell. Additional signs such as fatigue, muscle aches, and shortness of breath can also occur. Early recognition of these symptoms is essential to ensure timely care and prevent the spread of infection.
Yes – where available, both vaccines can be given in the same appointment (usually one in each arm).
Please wait until you’ve recovered as we cannot vaccinate anyone who currently has COVID-19 or who has had it within the last two weeks.
Our private COVID-19 vaccination service is available to individuals aged 12 years and above. Please note that it is not recommended for anyone who has received a COVID-19 vaccine within the past three months or has a history of allergic reactions to injections or vaccines. Prior to vaccination, our clinician will conduct a thorough assessment to confirm your suitability.
