What Is the COVID-19 Vaccine, and Why Is It Important?

The coronavirus vaccine helps protect against COVID-19 by boosting your body’s immune response. Over time, protection can fade, and the virus can change, which is why booster vaccinations are offered to those who need extra protection.

Getting vaccinated can:

  • Reduce your risk of severe illness.
  • Help you recover more quickly if you catch COVID-19.
  • Lower the chance of hospital admission.
  • Protect against different strains of the virus.
You may still catch or spread COVID-19 after vaccination, but symptoms are usually milder.

Symptoms of COVID-19 to Look Out For

COVID-19 symptoms can vary but commonly include:
  • A persistent cough.
  • Fever or chills.
  • Fatigue and body aches.
  • Loss of appetite.
  • Sore throat or headache.
If symptoms worsen or you feel particularly unwell, it’s important to seek medical advice.

COVID Vaccination at Periville Pharmacy

We offer COVID-19 vaccination:
  • Through the NHS for eligible patients.
