Trusted London clinic now offers private Covid-19 vaccines.

As a trusted name in healthcare for the past three decades, Fleet St. Clinic are proud to announce the expansion of our services to include private Covid-19 vaccination for individuals and businesses alike. We offer the most up-to-date Pfizer Covid vaccines at a cost of £95 per dose.

Covid Vaccinations for Individuals

Until now, Covid vaccination has only been available through the NHS, which has rightly prioritised access those most likely to suffer complications. However, coronavirus infection remains a hazard for everyone, and many other people also wish to be protected. Protection can be especially important for people keen to avoid illness abroad, for people in key occupations, and for those in close contact with vulnerable friends and relatives.

Covid vaccination will now be available year-round for all those who would like to be protected, including those who have not been eligible for NHS care. Whether you need a booster vaccination or would like to consider having the Covid vaccine for the first time, we can help.

Covid Vaccinations for Businesses

Fleet St. Clinic has provided large-scale flu vaccination initiatives for businesses across the United Kingdom since 1995. These programmes are now being expanded to include long-awaited vaccination against Covid-19. Many of our clients have been keen to protect those in business-critical roles as well as to protect employee health and wellbeing more generally.

Workplace vaccination programmes are offered as a straightforward and fully-managed service, enabling employees to access vaccinations they might otherwise find challenging to obtain. Introducing vaccination against Covid-19 reflects our longstanding commitment to keeping companies and their employees healthy.

Fleet St. Clinic Medical Director, Dr Richard Dawood commented:

“We are delighted to be one of the first medical practices in the UK to offer Covid-19 vaccinations outside the NHS. Now that Covid has transitioned from being a pandemic to an endemic disease, it is important that vaccination against Covid should become as “normal” and accessible as vaccination against other infectious diseases.

As a private, multi-disciplinary medical practice, the Fleet St. Clinic has specialised in vaccines for three decades, delivering hundreds of thousands of doses. Through the pandemic, most of our doctors and nurses volunteered to deliver Covid-19 vaccines in the NHS. We are especially pleased that being vaccinated against Covid-19 can now be a matter of choice for individuals and businesses alike, no longer restricted to those in the most vulnerable groups.”

Pre-Book Your Covid Vaccine

Covid vaccination will become available in March, but you can pre-book your own Covid vaccine or a Workplace vaccination programme, from today. Fill in our online form and we will be in touch with more information.

At Whitby & Co. and the Fleet Street Clinic, we strongly believe in our duty to protect our colleagues and patients alike, independently of Government regulations. We have stayed open since the start of the pandemic, delivering key health services for our patients, face-to-face and without interruption, but with no compromise on safety. 

Despite the recent changes to isolation legislation and access to testing, you can rely on the fact that we plan to keep regularly testing all our staff for the foreseeable future – using highly sensitive rt-PCR tests in our own onsite lab. The benefits of rt-PCR testing means the infection is detected much earlier, rather than at peak infection which is when lateral flow tests only turn positive. We will advise our employees to continue to isolate in the event of a positive test: we prefer to pay our staff to stay at home, rather than risk spreading  Covid-19 among colleagues or to our patients.

Whilst we absolutely recognise that the Omicron variant is less severe than previous dominant strains of SARS-CoV-2, we are not willing to compromise the health and wellbeing of our employees or patients when the severity is so unpredictable person to person. For peace of mind and to protect those most vulnerable, we will continue to wear face masks and prevent infectious individuals from entering our premises.

Our internal strategy appears thus far to be successful: although a number of us have inevitably had Covid-19 over the course of the pandemic, there have certainly been no outbreaks among staff from workplace transmission. 

Beyond this, you can rely on the fact that all our staff are fully vaccinated, and indeed (like all health workers) were prioritised for vaccination from the earliest opportunity.

Whatever your reason for coming to see us at 29 Fleet Street – whether for an eye examination, a GP appointment, travel vaccines, or to use any of our other services, you can be confident that we have all been vaccinated and have had a recent negative coronavirus test. And this extends to if any of us come and see you at your home, office or place of work, you can be completely assured that we have used all our resources to protect you, your family and your colleagues.

Following the confirmation of the new variant of coronavirus found in the UK, we have taken many enquiries regarding our PCR testing technology at Fleet Street Clinic and its ability to detect this new variant.

Please feel assured that our suite of Covid-19 rt-PCR detection equipment can confirm the presence of this new variant alongside the previously known strain.

We understand identifying this new variant of SARS-CoV-2 may cause concern due to its higher rate of infection compared to the previous known strain. However, rest assured, there is no evidence to suggest it causes more serious illness or would disrupt the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine.

Prof Calum Semple, a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) which advises the UK government, said the new strain is likely to become the dominant global strain and it is therefore important our equipment is able to adapt to change to identify mutations to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

At Fleet Street Clinic, we have developed a comprehensive portfolio of COVID-19 diagnostic testing solutions including multiplex rt-PCR detection and antibody testing and are able to provide rapid test results for diagnosis and travel purposes. This positioning hasn’t changed since this new strain has emerged. We pride ourselves on constantly adapting to meet the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic and will continue to do so should any further genetic variations be identified on the SARS-CoV-2 genome.

If you have symptoms of coronavirus (a high temperature or a new, continuous cough), please do not leave your home. That includes coming into the clinic, any other GP surgery, a pharmacy or a hospital.

We’d suggest you can book a virtual GP appointment with one of our doctors. You can discuss your health concerns and symptoms by telephone or video call.
Alternatively, you can use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service. If you are experiencing life-threatening symptoms, always call 999 for an ambulance.

If you have symptoms you should self-isolate for 7 days. If you live with someone who has symptoms, you’ll need to self-isolate for 14 days from the day their symptoms started. This is because it can take 14 days for symptoms to appear. More details about self-isolation can be found here.
