Whether you need a booking mainly depends on where you go.
Private doctors and clinics
Ask the clinic whether the vaccine is in stock, whether walk-ins are accepted and whether a medical assessment must be booked first. Once confirmed, bring the records and documents requested.
Public vaccination sites
Follow the current programme page and the venue’s booking instructions. Another clinic’s or a previous session’s walk-in policy does not establish availability at this venue.
Check current services, not last season’s arrangements
Service check, 17 October 2026: CHP still reports a temporary suspension of the government COVID-19 vaccination service after the LP.8.1 supply expired. An expected resumption in the fourth quarter is not a confirmed reopening date. Check the official notice and provider for current service, formulation and supply.
Confirm before you go
Wherever you go, check three things first: that the site has the vaccine you need, whether you need an appointment, and whether you qualify for free or subsidised vaccination. Bring your ID card and vaccination record.
