Pop Up for Jabs
Residents of West Lancashire have been urged to take
advantage of COVID-19 pop up sites and a vaccine bus
that is currently visiting the area.
The local NHS is working with GP practices and West
Lancashire Borough Council to provide the service in
areas where vaccine uptake is lowest in a bid to ensure as
many people as possible are protected against COVID-19.
Councillor Vickie Cummins, portfolio holder for Health
and Wellbeing at West Lancashire Borough Council,
said: “I would encourage anyone who is yet to make an
appointment for their COVID-19 vaccine to pop over and
get a vaccine at one of our pop-up sites or via our vaccine
bus, so they are protected against the virus.
We all want to see a return to normality and to make sure
as many people as possible are vaccinated”.
Bookings are not required for any of the pop-up sites or
vaccine bus and vaccines are available to anyone who is
18 or over.
that this is no less than eight weeks after your first vaccine
dose.
On Friday 2 July and Saturday 3 July between 9am-5pm,
there will be a pop up at the Food Court in the Concourse
Shopping Centre in Skelmersdale.
On Wednesday 7 July the Vaccine Bus will be at the Clock
Tower in Ormskirk from 10am–5pm and on Friday 9
July, the Vaccine Bus will be at The Artz Centre (formerly
Upholland Library) in Upholland between 2pm – 7pm.
