Vaccination continues to be our best defence against the virus. Vaccines are extremely safe - all vaccines must go through the same regulatory approval process as any medicines to ensure they meet strict safety standards and offer high levels of protection.
For those staff who are yet to have their vaccines – first, second or booster COVID-19 vaccines, and/or flu, please visit the Vaccination Centre at Maghull Health Park which you can book into by using the link. The address is: Parkbourn, Maghull, L31 1HW (site entrance is via Villas Road, is on a one way system, and for those familiar with the what3words navigation system, use: unloading.spoiled.retained). If you have difficulties getting to and from the vaccination centre, please discuss this with your manager who will be able to support you.
Alternatively, if it’s nearby, the pop-up vaccine clinic is returning to Bootle Cricket Club.
People are able to walk in and get their first, second or booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at a temporary pop-up clinic in Firwood Bootle Cricket Club.
South Sefton residents aged 18 or over can simply turn up during opening hours to get their first, second or booster jab, with no appointment needed. The COVID-19 vaccination site will be open at Wadham Road, Bootle, L20 2DD on the following dates:
- Monday, 21 February, 10am to 4pm
- Monday, 28 February, 10am to 4pm.
It’s not too late to get your first jab, while second jabs and booster doses greatly reduce the risk of serious illness from COVID-19. Vaccination doesn’t mean we can’t catch the virus or be re-infected but if we do, we have stronger immunity and will be far less likely to be seriously ill.
It is advised to plan ahead for the journey to the vaccination site, as parking is limited at the cricket club and is restricted on nearby roads.
To find out more about the COVID-19 booster vaccine, who is eligible, and to book an appointment online through the national booking system, visit the NHS website: www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-booster-vaccine.
