Book your appointments

You need to:

  • have 2 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine at 2 appointments
  • book both appointments at the same time
  • get the 2nd dose 8 to 12 weeks after getting your 1st dose

If you’ve had a positive COVID-19 test, you should wait 4 weeks from the date you had the test before you book an appointment.

When you book you’ll only be offered appointments for vaccines that are recommended for you based on your age, any underlying health conditions, and whether you’re pregnant.
