Frontline health and social care workers are more likely to be exposed to both viruses. It’s also easy to pass these viruses on without knowing. Research has shown that you’re more likely to be seriously ill if you get flu and COVID-19 at the same time. So, it’s essential that all health and social care workers, those with social contact with patients and non-clinical staff over 50 are protected against both viruses as early as possible. Getting your flu jab and COVID-19 booster vaccine will help prevent you from getting these viruses - they are the best defence we have. The vaccines will help keep you safe and if you do catch either virus, it’s likely to be milder and shorter-lived than it would otherwise have been. Please book your appointment, 26 weeks after your second COVID-19 dose, via this link booking your appointment.

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

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 or 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.
