The service can be accessed by patients aged 12 or over and is priced at £98.95.

Boots has also reported a spike in sales for Covid-19 tests and medicines that can relieve symptoms of the virus. It said sales of Covid-19 test kits almost tripled in June compared to the same month last year.

Jamie Kerruish, healthcare director at Boots, said: “Our private service builds on our delivery of Covid-19 vaccinations for the NHS.

“We are seeing a wide range of patients choose to get a Covid-19 vaccination privately and demand for the service has been higher than we anticipated.

“We expect it will continue to rise in the autumn and winter months.”
