Wirral residents can catch up on their missed vaccinations in January, thanks to a roving health service.


Popping up in locations across the borough over the next week, 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:
•    Saturday 18th January, 1030am – 4:00pm – Birkenhead Town Centre (By Pound Bakery), CH41 2XY
•    Monday 20th January, 10:30am – 1:00pm – Age UK Wirral, Birkenhead, CH41 0DD
•    Monday 20th January, 1:30pm – 4:00pm – Age UK Wirral, Bromborough, CH62 2DE


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.
