Ever since the Covid vaccines were rolled out across the UK, the memes have descended. Just like the lockdown memes that kept us laughing despite everything this year, the best vaccine memes and jokes have flooded our timelines with a vengeance – and they’re really, really funny.

Whether it's vaccine jokes against the anti-vax movement or the memes about people realising they now face imminent return to normal life, the vaccine memes just keep rolling in.

'My boyfriend got his covid vaccine yesterday and I can tell you the most prominent side effect is the inability to shut up about getting the covid vaccine,' tweeted one social media user. More than 300,000 likes later, there's a clear irony in 'going viral' because of a real-life virus vaccine - right? Well, it's our favourite joke of them all anyway.

Because, not to sound dramatic, but this year, memes have really taken on a new purpose. Once, they were something we engaged with randomly when a celebrity did something wild, eliciting a slight chuckle as we scroll on or send to a friend. But with all the monstrosities of 2020, memes have become something of a pacifier at times of peak anxiety. When everything felt out of control and terrifying, they reminded us that we’re all in the same boat and that actually, in times of crisis, we can still laugh at the sheer hopelessness of it all.

Covid memes certainly helped ease my anxiety every time a new lockdown announcement was due, and the vaccine memes are no different. It’s no wonder then, that now that we finally have access to a covid vaccine, ‘vaccine memes’ and ‘vaccine jokes’ are jumping up on Google Trends as people search for ways to find humour in the chaos of 2021.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of the best vaccine jokes and memes online right now. Thank us later…
