With a target to offer a first dose of COVID-19 vaccine to all adults by July 19th 2021, Cheshire’s health and care partners are urging everyone aged 18 and over to come forward now to get their jab.

Anyone aged 18 or over can book their vaccination appointments online now at: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/ or by calling 119.

If there is no local availability showing on the booking system, and it is not convenient for you to travel, please keep checking back as local slots update all the time. Call 119 if you need further assistance.

• Alternatively, please respond to a local walk-in offer close to where you live.
• While everyone under 40 is now being offered Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, all COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in the UK meet strict safety criteria following rigorous testing.
• Please do not wait to be called – come forward now.

Aged 40 or over?

• Book your vaccination appointments online now at: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/ or by calling 119.
• Due to the availability of Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, a wide range of appointment slots are available for people aged 40 and over.
• Alternatively, please attend a pop-up clinic where no appointment is necessary – all you need to provide is your name, address, date of birth and contact details.

Cheshire’s COVID-19 Vaccination Programme Lead Tracey Cole said: “Vaccination remains our strongest weapon in the battle against Coronavirus (COVID-19) so please come forward if you are eligible and ensure you get both doses. It is never too late to come forward to be vaccinated.”
