Saints stadium GP-led vaccinations for the Covid-19 pandemic are set to leave Saints stadium and return to practices from Friday, May 28 - but mass vaccinations will remain. The vaccination programme in St Helens has been a huge success with more than 110,000 people receiving a single dose, and almost 80,000 receiving both doses – the town s uptake across all cohorts is consistently one of the highest in Cheshire and Merseyside. The 33 GP practices in St Helens have been working together at the Saints Totally Wicked Stadium and have delivered more than 114,000 vaccines at the site on the ground floor of Saints, with the rest being done largely at the Mass Vaccination Site, upstairs run by St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (SHTK) as well as through a number of community pharmacies.
