The UK Government has pledged to give Ukrainians fleeing their home country free access to NHS healthcare in the UK.

So you can access hospital services, appointments with a doctor and nurse, urgent care centres and injury units while here in Britain at no cost.

You can also access medical screenings and get Covid vaccines.

The Covid vaccine is free in the UK, and vaccination centres are open across the country.

Four Covid vaccines have been approved in the UK, and three are currently available – Moderna, Oxford/AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech.

If you are registered with a GP surgery in England, you can book a Covid vaccine via the NHS website here.

To register with a GP surgery, you can find your local practice on the NHS website here.

The following can be booked online on the NHS website:

  • 1st and 2nd doses for people aged 12 years old and over
  • Boosters for people aged 16 years old and over, plus at-risk children aged 12 to 15 years old
  • Spring boosters for people aged 75 years old and over, plus people aged 12 years old and over with a weakened immune system
  • Additional primary doses for people with a severely weakened immune system aged 12 years old and over

If you cannot book appointments online, you can call 119 free of charge. You can speak to a translator if you need to.

If you are not registered with a GP, you might be able to get a Covid vaccine at a walk-in site without an appointment.

These sites provide:

  • 1st and 2nd doses if you’re aged 12 years old and over
  • booster doses and spring boosters
  • additional doses for people with a severely weakened immune system aged 12 years old and over
  • 1st and 2nd doses for at-risk children aged 5 to 11

You can find a walk-in vaccine site here.

GP surgeries may also provide Covid vaccine appointments.
