WARRINGTON’S coronavirus vaccination has been on the road this week, making jabs more accessible for communities. Its latest trip saw it visit provide jabs to scores of eligible employees at a food manufacturing firm in Woolston yesterday morning, Tuesday. Greencore is a leading manufacturer of convenience foods, which is proud to supply a wide range of chilled, frozen and ambient products to retail and food service customers across the UK. The Woolston branch was delighted to be visited by the bus, which is operated by a partnership between Central and West Warrington Primary Care Network, Warrington Clinical Commissioning Group, Warrington’s Own Buses and Warrington Borough Council.
A NEW scheme which will see a bus travel around Warrington offering coronavirus vaccines has been hailed as a ‘fantastic’ initiative which will break down barriers. The vaccination bus will go out into communities to administer jabs to people who are already due to have their vaccine but have not been able to attend a vaccination centre. The Central and West Warrington Primary Care Network and NHS Warrington Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are working alongside Warrington’s Own Buses and Warrington Borough Council to take the coronavirus vaccine out into the community on a bus. Anyone who is currently eligible for the vaccine in line with the national priority groups can get their first dose on the bus at one of the upcoming sessions.
Residents 56 and over invited for covid vaccine and attention turns to second doses WARRINGTON residents aged 56 and over and unpaid carers are now being invited to book their coronavirus vaccinations. The roll-out of the vaccine in the town continues to progress well, with more than 70,000 people having received their jabs. Attention is also turning to administering second ‘booster’ vaccinations to those who have already received their first doses. In addition, GP-led vaccination services are currently working hard to vaccinate people aged between 16 and 64 who are in an at-risk group. Residents aged 56 and over and unpaid carers can book a vaccination at one of the Bewsey Pharmacy, Appleton Pharmacy or Village Hotel sites, or the mass vaccination centre at St Helens’ Totally Wicked Stadium, by visiting nhs.uk/covid-vaccination or by calling 119.
