As of December, 2024, a new vaccine variant, the Pfizer Comirnaty JN.1 (also referred to as JN.1) is being rolled out to UFS pharmacies. The XBB 1.5 will continue to be available in our pharmacies until the JN.1 vaccine is available. 

Please note: if you have had COVID recently, you need to wait for six months after infection to receive the booster vaccine

Vaccinations are administered by an immunisation accredited pharmacist or nurse and bookings can be made by clicking on the link for your pharmacy of choice. If you have any concerns, or if you have a complex medical history, we encourage you to speak to your GP prior to making an appointment.

Some pharmacies require appointments to be booked, others are able to accept walk-ins.
