Continued promotion of Vaccination

Continued promotion of Vaccination

As part of the Knowsley Better Together Approach, we would like all council services, externally commissioned services, schools, and community organisations the Council works closely with all who have regular contact with residents to continue to promote and encourage Vaccination for all eligible.

Key Points:

  • As of 15th September 33,425, of the eligible Knowsley residents have failed to come forward for a first dose. This is 24.5% of the Knowsley population, and compared to the national average of 10.8% Knowsley has significantly lower levels of protection.
  • Hospital admissions are increasing and our first and best line of defence to reduce transmission, to protect ourselves, our families, our friends, and the community is to increase the number of people vaccinated.
  • For more information on the clinics available until the end of the month, please take at look at this page: Where to get your COVID-19 vaccination - Knowsley News
  • We expect a routine evergreen offer to be available at residents local GP practices from Early October, we will share information with you when this is approved and available.
  • Healthwatch Knowsley’s phone line is available for support. They can advise on where clinics are, talk residents through the booking process and arrange FREE transport for residents to any clinic. 0151 449 3954 is the number to call.
