What is a private vaccination clinic?
A private vaccination clinic gives you direct access to vaccines without waiting for an NHS appointment or referral. At Belgrave PharmHealth in Highfield, you can book directly, have a short consultation to confirm the vaccine is suitable for you, and usually be vaccinated the same day. This is ideal for vaccines the NHS does not routinely provide for adults — such as HPV catch-up, meningitis B, chickenpox and shingles below the eligible age — and for people who need vaccination quickly for work, study or peace of mind. We keep a broad range of vaccines available, advise honestly on what you actually need, and provide the records and certificates that employers, universities and placements often require. Whether you are catching up on a missed childhood vaccine or protecting yourself for a new job, we make it straightforward.
Vaccines available at our Sheffield clinic
- HPV (Gardasil 9) — protection against HPV-related cancers and genital warts, for adults who missed the school programme.
- Meningitis B (MenB) — for students, infants and adults wanting protection against group B meningococcal disease.
- Hepatitis B — for healthcare and food-handling workers, travellers and other at-risk groups, with antibody testing.
- Chickenpox (varicella) — for adults and children who haven’t had chickenpox, and for those in contact with vulnerable people.
- Shingles — for older adults wanting protection before they become eligible on the NHS.
- MMR catch-up and MenACWY — also covered on our student vaccinations page.
Catch-up vaccinations for adults
It is never too late to catch up. Many adults missed vaccines as children or have lost their records, and some childhood vaccines (like HPV) are now recognised as valuable into adulthood. After a short consultation we can advise what you may have missed and arrange a suitable course. Where a vaccine needs more than one dose — as with HPV and hepatitis B — we will schedule your appointments so you complete the course correctly.
Occupational and workplace vaccinations
Starting a new role in healthcare, dentistry, the food industry or another regulated sector often means proving you are immunised. We provide hepatitis B vaccination with antibody (titre) testing, plus other occupational vaccines and the documentation your employer or placement requires. If you are a healthcare student, see our student vaccinations page too.
Shingles and chickenpox
Chickenpox vaccination is available privately for children and adults who have not had the illness, and for those who live or work with vulnerable people. Shingles vaccination protects older adults against a painful reactivation of the chickenpox virus; if you are not yet eligible on the NHS, you can have it privately with us.
