Most people can have any of the COVID-19 vaccines, but some people are only offered certain vaccines based on medical suitability.
When you come for your appointment, we will ask you questions about your relevant medical history. This will tell us whether you are medically suitable for the vaccine you have been booked for. If because of your medical history you are not suitable for that vaccine, we will offer you an alternative vaccine.
