When you might need a private COVID vaccination

The NHS COVID-19 vaccination programme covers specific eligible groups (over-65s, those with risk conditions, pregnant women, and others). If you're not eligible for a free NHS COVID vaccine but still want protection — for international travel, work in a high-risk setting, or simply peace of mind — a private COVID booster is available. It's one of the questions we're asked most often at the pharmacy: where can I pay for a COVID vaccine, or find a COVID vaccine near me, in Blackburn? The answer is here at Curo Pharmacy.

Our private COVID-19 vaccination — a private COVID booster — costs £95 and consists of a single dose of the Comirnaty (Pfizer-BioNTech) mRNA vaccine. You'll receive a certificate of vaccination which is useful for travel and employment records.

Common questions

Which COVID vaccine do you use?
We use the latest UK-approved COVID-19 vaccines — typically updated mRNA vaccines targeting current variants. The exact vaccine in stock depends on the time of year.
Can I have it with my flu jab?
Yes — in most cases COVID and flu vaccines can be administered together. We can also do them on separate visits if you prefer.
How much does it cost?
£95 for a single dose of the Comirnaty (Pfizer-BioNTech) mRNA vaccine.
Do you provide a vaccination certificate?
Yes — you'll receive a private certificate of vaccination useful for travel, employment, or personal records.
How soon before travel should I have it?
Ideally 1-2 weeks before travel to give your immune system time to respond. We can administer it later if needed, but earlier is better for full protection.
Where can I get a COVID jab in Blackburn?
Curo Pharmacy offers both NHS (if you're eligible) and private COVID jabs in Blackburn. If you're not eligible for a free NHS COVID vaccine, our private COVID booster costs £95 for a single dose — call us or use the enquiry form below to book.
I'm not eligible for a free NHS COVID vaccine — can I still pay for a COVID vaccine here?
Yes. If you're not in an NHS-eligible group, you can pay for a COVID vaccine privately at Curo Pharmacy. It costs £95 for a single dose of the Comirnaty (Pfizer-BioNTech) mRNA vaccine, and no referral is needed.
