NEED HELP GETTING TO A COVID VACCINATION SITE? WE CAN HELP...

GETTING VACCINATED It’s now easier and more convenient to get your COVID-19 vaccination in Knowsley. You can find out where your nearest drop-in COVID-19 vaccination site is by visiting www.knowsleynews.co.uk. No appointment is needed at a drop-in site, and your closest site may be in a neighbouring borough.

Alternatively, you can still book your vaccination by calling 119 or visiting www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination

Knowsley residents who may find it difficult to travel to their COVID-19 vaccination appointment can now get support through the local travel offer. TAXI SERVICE Knowsley Council is working in partnership with Healthwatch Knowsley to provide a taxi service for residents who do not have transport to attend a drop-in vaccination site or pre-booked appointment.

If you are a Knowsley resident, and you don’t have access to transport, you can call 0151 449 3954 (lines are open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and 10am to 5pm at weekends) and they will talk you through your options to get to your appointment or a nearby drop-in clinic.

This service is available for journeys to and from your closest vaccination site. BUS VOUCHERS Travel vouchers to be used on any local bus can be claimed from any of the borough’s asymptomatic testing sites from Wednesday 14 July.
