Private Vaccination Clinic

Virtual Vaccine Risk Assessment Service

​

At Lochardil Pharmacy, we offer private pharmacist-led preventative vaccination consultations for adults and children where appropriate.

This service is designed for patients wishing to discuss vaccines for prevention of illness outside of our dedicated travel clinic service.

 

Examples may include:

• Chickenpox vaccination

• Shingles vaccination

• HPV vaccination

• MenB vaccination

• University/student vaccination enquiries​

 

If the vaccine or condition you are enquiring about is not listed, please contact the pharmacy team as we may still be able to help or advise further.

​

Important Information

This is a private vaccination consultation service.

 

Some vaccines discussed during consultation may:

• or become available through NHS eligibility criteria in future.

 

This service is intended for:

​

• patients who are not eligible for NHS vaccination,

• patients choosing to access vaccination privately,

• or patients seeking additional consultation regarding preventative vaccination options.

 

This service is not our travel vaccination clinic.

For:

​

• travel vaccines,

• destination-specific risk assessments,

• malaria advice,

• or travel health appointments,

 

please book through our dedicated travel clinic service instead.

 

How The Service Works

 

Step 1: Book Your Virtual Risk Assessment

​

All appointments begin with a:

30-minute virtual vaccination risk assessment consultation

​

Once booked, you will receive:

• a booking confirmation email,

• a secure consultation link,

• and a medical questionnaire to complete before your appointment.

 

Step 2: Complete Your Health Questionnaire

​

Before your appointment, we ask patients (or representative) to complete a health questionnaire covering:

​

• medical history,

• current medication,

• allergies,

• previous vaccinations,

• and the reason for your enquiry.

​

This helps the clinical team assess suitability safely and effectively before your consultation.

 

Step 3: Virtual Consultation With The Pharmacy Team

​

During your appointment, a pharmacist will discuss:

​

• your enquiry,

• vaccine suitability,

• risks and benefits,

• expected dosing schedules,

• potential side effects,

• and whether vaccination may be appropriate.

​

Some patients may be advised:

​

• vaccination is not appropriate,

• to seek GP/NHS advice,

• or that no vaccination is currently recommended.

​

A consultation does not guarantee vaccination will be provided.

​

Step 4: In-Pharmacy Vaccination Appointment

​​

If vaccination is considered appropriate and you wish to proceed privately, you will then be invited to attend the pharmacy for administration of the vaccine.

 

Vaccine costs vary depending on:

• the vaccine selected,

• number of doses required,

• and manufacturer availability.

 

A full quotation will be discussed before proceeding.

Chickenpox (Varicella): From £70 per dose
