Vaccines & Immunisations

Vaccinations

Vaccines teach your immune system how to create antibodies that protect you from disease. This is a much safer way to teach your body than catching a disease and then treating it. Once your system knows how to fight the disease, it can often give you lifelong protection.

At CPD, we offer three vaccines: shingles, HPV, and Hepatitis B. Below, you will find more information about the vaccines, age restrictions, frequency, and pricing.

FAQ’s

What happens at the appointment?

We ask all patients collecting vaccines to arrive a little earlier than the appointment time as you will need to collect and pay for your vaccine at the Nuffield Hospital Pharmacy.

How will I be charged for the tests?

You will be invoiced by CPD for the appointment after you attend and the Nuffield Pharmacy will charge you for the vaccines when they are collected.

Will my NHS record be updated to show I’ve had the vaccine?

No. If you want us to notify your GP please ask, but we will never contact them without your permission.

How do I pay?

You will be sent an invoice on the email that you registered with within a couple of days and you can pay online.
