The travel vaccines against the coronavirus (COVID-19) are both safe and effective. They provide the most powerful defence against COVID-19. At Grahame Pharmacy, we offer Covid Vaccines in Lisburn so that you can travel stress-free.
The COVID-19 vaccines currently licensed for use in the UK are:
– Moderna vaccine
– Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine
– Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine
– Janssen vaccine
– Novavax vaccine
– Valneva vaccine
The first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccination are available to anyone aged 5 and above.
A booster dose is available to those aged 16 and up, as well as some children aged 12 to 15.
People aged 12 and above who had a severely compromised immune system after the first two doses would get a third dosage as well as a booster (4th dose).
A spring booster is available to those aged 75 and older, people living in nursing homes for the elderly, and individuals aged 12 and above with a weaker immune system.
COVID-19 guidelines apply to other countries as well. Check the ‘Entry requirements‘ part of overseas travel advice for every country you will travel through or visit before you travel.
This will inform you if they accept visitors from the United Kingdom.
It should also tell you whether you’ll need to:
– Show proof of a negative COVID-19 test
– Go through quarantine on arrival
– Fill out a passenger locator form to enter the country
– Show proof of vaccination status (along with any rules about vaccine expiration or boosters)
– Wear a face mask on your journey or when you arrive
Before entering some countries, you must provide proof of immunisation.
When travelling abroad, you can use the immunisation records in your NHS COVID Pass as verification of your COVID-19 status.
If you had a positive test in the last 180 days, you must additionally produce proof of recovery from a prior COVID-19 infection.
When travelling abroad, you must also adhere to any additional rules imposed by the place you are visiting.
Anyone infected with COVID-19 may become very unwell or suffer long-term consequences (long COVID). COVID-19 immunisations are the most effective strategy to safeguard yourself and others.
The vaccines have been found to:
– Reduce your risk of becoming severely sick or dying from COVID-19
– Limit your chances of getting or transmitting COVID-19
– Offer protection against COVID-19 variants
The first dose should protect you for 3 to 4 weeks after taking it. However, for better and longer-lasting protection, you’ll need two doses.
A booster dose is usually necessary to increase the protection provided by the first two doses of the vaccination.
The COVID-19 vaccines that have been licensed for use in the United Kingdom have satisfied stringent safety, quality, and efficacy criteria.
They can have some negative side effects, however, not everyone will experience them.
Any adverse effects should be minor and last no more than a week. The side effects include:
– Soreness at the injection site
– Fatigue
– A headache
– Feeling nauseous or being sick
Serious adverse effects like blood clots and allergic reactions are quite uncommon.
– The first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccination are available to anyone aged 5 and above.
– A booster dose is available to those aged 16 and above, as well as some children aged 12 to 15.
– People aged 12 and above who had a severely compromised immune system after the first two doses would be given a third dosage as well as a booster (fourth dose).
– A spring booster will be given to those aged 75 and above, people living in nursing homes for the elderly, and those aged 12 and above with a weaker immune system.
In most cases, you will not be able to choose which vaccine you will receive. You will only be given appointments for immunisations that are appropriate for you if you book online.
The COVID-19 vaccines are available to most people, but certain individuals are only administered specific vaccinations.
Book your appointment with Grahame Pharmacy today to get your COVID vaccination. You can also get in touch with us for more information.
