Boots is now offering Gonorrhoea Vaccination Service at its 160 stores spread across the UK, providing customers greater access to sexual health support and preventative care.
The launch of this private vaccination service last week comes at a time when sexually transmitted infections remain a public health concern, with more than 400,000 new STI diagnoses recorded in England in 2025.
Adults aged 18 and over can receive a vaccination that may help reduce the risk of gonorrhoea, one of the most commonly diagnosed STIs.
Customers can book in online at boots.com and pay in-store. The vaccination course consists of two doses at £110 each, totalling £220 for the full course, administered four weeks apart by a healthcare professional in a private Boots consultation room.
Gonorrhoea is caused by bacteria transmitted through unprotected sex. While many people infected show no symptoms at all, if left untreated, the infection can lead to severe and long-term health complications.
Boots Superintendent Pharmacist Claire Nevinson said: "Gonorrhoea often spreads silently with many people unknowingly passing on the infection. Vaccinations can help to break the chain of transmission, helping to protect people from catching the infection in the first place.
"Providing a gonorrhoea vaccination service through community pharmacies creates a convenient way for people to help protect their sexual health."
Boots already provides a range of sexual health services, including in-store and online STI test kits, emergency contraception, and treatments via Boots Online Doctor.
