One of the prominent retail chains, Superdrug, has confirmed that it is in talks with vaccine suppliers to potentially introduce a private COVID vaccination service as early as 2024. A spokesperson for Superdrug stated, “Ensuring healthcare is as accessible as possible for people is our priority, and we’re interested in offering a private COVID vaccination. Currently, we are gathering information to assess whether it’s a viable option.”
