Private COVID vaccine appointments in Treherbert
Bute Clinic by Treherbert Pharmacy provides private COVID-19 vaccination appointments for suitable patients seeking convenient local access outside the current NHS vaccination offer.
The appointment costs £90, including the clinical consultation and vaccination where appropriate. We will review your health, previous COVID vaccinations, allergies and the timing of your last dose before deciding whether vaccination can proceed.
Book a private COVID vaccination consultation
Appointments take place at Bute Clinic, above Treherbert Pharmacy. You can also call 01443 776133 or use the general booking page.
A local, clinically assessed vaccination service
This is a clinical appointment rather than a guaranteed injection. We check whether vaccination is appropriate for you, explain the vaccine available, answer your questions and obtain informed consent before proceeding.
COVID-19 vaccination can reduce the risk of serious illness and hospital treatment. Protection can reduce over time, and vaccines are updated as the virus changes.
No vaccine is completely effective. You may still catch or pass on COVID-19 after vaccination, although vaccination remains an important way to reduce the risk of severe disease.
Who may consider a private COVID vaccine?
The private service may be an option for someone who is not included in the current NHS programme and would like to discuss vaccination. Clinical suitability and vaccine availability must still be confirmed.
- Your vaccination history is important. Bring the dates and product names of previous COVID vaccines if you have them.
- The timing of your last dose will be checked. The appropriate interval depends on your vaccination history, health and the vaccine currently available.
- Previous infection does not automatically prevent vaccination. If you are currently unwell, have a high temperature or think you have COVID-19, rearrange the appointment until you feel better.
- Some people need specialist advice. This may apply after a serious reaction to a previous COVID vaccine, suspected myocarditis or pericarditis, or during certain specialist treatments.
Check whether you can receive a free NHS COVID vaccine first
For the spring and autumn 2026 programmes in Wales, NHS vaccination is offered to adults aged 75 and over, residents in care homes for older adults, and people aged six months and over who are immunosuppressed.
If you are eligible, the vaccine is provided free through the NHS. Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board normally contacts eligible patients and provides local vaccination arrangements.
Eligibility can change between campaigns. Check the current Welsh Government COVID vaccination criteria or the Cwm Taf Morgannwg COVID vaccination page before paying privately.

How to prepare for your COVID vaccination in Treherbert Pharmacy
- Bring your vaccination history. A record in the NHS Wales App, appointment card, letter or other evidence can help confirm dates and products.
- Bring a current medicines list. Include anticoagulants, immunosuppressants and medicines supplied by a hospital or specialist.
- Wear clothing that gives easy access to your upper arm. The vaccine is normally given into the deltoid muscle.
- Rearrange if you are acutely unwell. A minor cold without fever may not prevent vaccination, but a high temperature or significant illness may require delay.
- Tell us about other planned vaccines. COVID vaccines can often be given at the same visit as other vaccines, including flu, but each service requires its own assessment, booking and charge where applicable.
Side effects and important safety information
Most side effects are mild and short-lived. They commonly include a sore or heavy arm, tiredness, headache, aches, mild fever, nausea or flu-like symptoms.
- Allergy history: tell us about any serious reaction to a previous COVID vaccine or any known allergy to a vaccine ingredient. Specialist advice may be needed.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding: this does not automatically prevent COVID vaccination, but tell the clinician so the product and timing can be assessed properly.
- Immunosuppression or specialist treatment: your specialist may need to advise on the best timing to improve the likely immune response.
- Previous myocarditis or pericarditis: further vaccination may require individual assessment or specialist advice.
Seek urgent medical advice if you develop chest pain, shortness of breath or a fast-beating, fluttering or pounding heart after vaccination. Call 999 for severe breathing difficulty, collapse or signs of a life-threatening allergic reaction. For urgent advice that is not life-threatening, use NHS 111 Wales.
