Coronavirus vaccination

Following extensive trials, we have safe and effective vaccines for COVID-19 now available. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect people from coronavirus and will save thousands of lives.

The COVID-19 vaccination programme is the biggest in NHS history.

The NHS is currently offering the COVID-19 vaccine to people most at risk from coronavirus. It’s being given to:

  • people aged 80 and over
  • some people aged 70 and over
  • some people who are clinically extremely vulnerable
  • people who live or work in care homes
  • health and social care workers

The vaccine will be offered more widely as soon as possible.

The order in which people will be offered the vaccine is based on advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

NHS staff are doing an incredible job to deliver the vaccine while at the same time continuing to be there for everyone who needs care. We can help them by doing the following:

  • please don’t contact the NHS to seek a vaccine, they will contact you;
  • when they do contact you, please attend your booked appointments at the time you’re asked to;
  • please continue to follow all the guidance in place to control the virus and save lives, even if you’ve already had your vaccine.

Further information

We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions that might be useful for you.

You can also find more information about the COVID-19 vaccine on the NHS website: www.nhs.uk/covidvaccine.

For information on the vaccination centre at St James Hospital and the temporary changes to travel around the site to help with traffic flow visit the Portsmouth City Council news pages.

We’re aware of some reported scams relating to the COVID-19 vaccination. Find out more about how you can protect yourself.


Symptoms and testing

Do not leave home if you, or someone you live with, has any of the following:

  • a high temperature
  • a new, continuous cough
  • a loss of, or change to, your sense of smell or taste

Anyone with any of the above symptoms of coronavirus can ask for a test to check if they have the virus, including children. You should do this immediately and shouldn’t leave home except to get tested.

You should visit the NHS website to find out what you need to do. You can book a test online at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119.

You and anyone you live with, or those in your support bubble, need to self-isolate whilst you await the result.

NHS Covid-19 app

The NHS has launched a free app as part of its Test and Trace service. It’s the fastest way to see if you’re at risk of coronavirus.

The app will alert you if you’ve been near other app users who have tested positive for coronavirus. It also allows you to quickly check-in to venues, see if the infection rate is increasing in your local area, check symptoms and book a coronavirus test. If you need to self-isolate it will set a countdown timer.

The app tracks coronavirus and not you. It doesn’t store any personal information about you or track your location. It can’t access your phone contacts and it keeps your privacy and identity secure.

The app is available in different languages and is easy to download for free. Search ‘NHS Covid19’  where you usually get your apps from on your smartphone.

For more information including a video explaining the app visit www.covid19.nhs.uk.
