COVID-19 remains a serious health risk with cases rising nationally. Frontline health and social care workers are more likely to be exposed to COVID-19 and flu and it’s easy to pass these viruses on without knowing. It is essential that all health and social care workers, including those with social contact with patients, and non-clinical staff over 50, are protected against both viruses as soon as possible. Vaccines are the best defence we have and will help keep you safe. If you do catch either virus, it’s likely to be milder and shorter-lived than it would otherwise have been. The majority of eligible staff are 26 weeks after second COVID-19 dose so use this link for booking your appointment.

Boost your immunity this winter and help protect yourself, your family, service users and patients.

For those members of staff struggling to get to the vaccination centre at Maghull Health Park, please find a link to Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership which allows health care workers only to book their COVID-19 booster vaccination at various sites across Cheshire and Merseyside. Those staff who take up this offer will have to make separate arrangements for flu vaccines. Please share this with colleagues so those who are eligible can make their booking.

Please don’t share links outside of Mersey Care as we are only able to vaccinate staff who will need to present their ID badge on arrival at the centre. Please arrive at the vaccination centre at the time of your appointment, we’re extremely busy at the moment and this will help to keep us to schedule.

The vaccination centre is at Maghull Health Park, Parkbourn, Maghull, L31 1HW. (Site entrance is via Villas Road, the site operates a one way system, and for those familiar with the what3words navigation system, use: unloading.spoiled.retained). If you have booked an appointment and need to cancel, please email the vaccination centre vaccinations@merseycare.nhs.uk to let them know. If you have any questions, please direct them to this email address.
