About the vaccine
|
The Pfizer/BioNTech Comirnaty® LP.8.1 is the updated mRNA Covid-19 vaccine for the 2025–2026 season. It replaces the previous XBB 1.5 and KP.2 formulations, and has been specifically adapted to target the LP.8.1 subvariant — a descendant of the JN.1 Omicron lineage that has become the dominant circulating strain. The LP.8.1 vaccine has received regulatory approval from the MHRA in the UK and is available as a fridge-stable pre-filled syringe for adults and those aged 12 and over. Pfizer’s phase 3 data shows the LP.8.1 vaccine generates at least a 4-fold increase in neutralising antibody levels compared to pre-vaccination. At Claygate Pharmacy, we are proud to offer this latest formulation privately, so you don’t have to wait for NHS eligibility. Our team has been involved in Covid vaccination since the programme began. |

Who should get vaccinated
The NHS Covid programme now focuses on those most at risk. But many people outside these groups still benefit greatly from protection.
|
Travellers
Respiratory infections are significantly more likely when travelling. Covid is no exception — and access to healthcare abroad is limited, making prevention especially important.
|
Protecting loved ones
Many of us have elderly or vulnerable relatives but are not ourselves eligible for the NHS vaccine. Getting vaccinated privately protects those around you who are most at risk.
|
Workers & key roles
Healthcare workers, teachers, those in hospitality or public-facing roles, and anyone in a close-knit team where illness causes significant disruption.
|
|
Underlying health conditions
Those with diabetes, heart disease, respiratory conditions, or compromised immunity who want up-to-date protection regardless of NHS eligibility.
|
Events & occasions
Weddings, family gatherings, large events — when it matters to stay healthy for an important occasion or to protect those you’ll be spending time with.
|
Peace of mind
Anyone who simply wants the reassurance of being up to date with the latest available Covid vaccine, regardless of NHS eligibility criteria.

NHS vs private
We wholeheartedly support and endorse the NHS Covid-19 vaccination programme. Our team has been actively involved in NHS vaccination since the programme began, and we continue to support it fully.
The NHS programme now focuses on those at highest risk from Covid complications — older adults and certain vulnerable groups. However, Covid-19 remains a health risk for everyone, and many people outside NHS eligibility criteria still benefit significantly from vaccination.
Our private service uses the same Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine as the NHS programme — the latest LP.8.1 formulation — so you receive exactly the same quality of protection, just at a time and for a purpose that suits you.
