Don’t let flu steal your Christmas – vaccine pop ups this December
Wirral residents can catch up on their missed vaccinations in December, thanks to a roving health service.
Popping up in locations across the borough over the next few weeks, the Living Well Service will be offering COVID-19 and flu vaccinations to all eligible residents, as well as all routine vaccinations for both children and adults. The scheme also offers health checks and wider wellbeing guidance at the heart of communities.
The Living Well Service, which provides ‘drop in’ health clinics by bus, is built on the principles of bringing the right services to local communities and helping reduce barriers to accessing care.
Residents can access the Living Well bus at any of the following pop ups from 10.30am – 4pm on:
- Wednesday 4th December - ASDA, Seaview Rd, Wallasey CH45 4NZ
- Friday 13th December - ASDA, Seaview Rd, Wallasey CH45 4NZ
- Wednesday 18th December - Rock Ferry Library / One Stop Shop, 259 Old Chester Road, CH42 3TD
- Friday 20th December - Birkenhead town centre, St Werburgh's Square, Grange Precinct, CH41 2XY
- Tuesday 31st December - Floral Pavilion, Marine Promenade, New Brighton, CH45 2JS
With no appointments necessary, the service’s clinical team will also offer physical health checks and mental health support, alongside vaccinations. Staff operating the bus can offer on-the-spot blood pressure and pulse checks, as well as checks for cholesterol levels, blood glucose and BMI. They can also refer people directly to talking therapies for mental health support.
