WARRINGTON’S coronavirus vaccination has been on the road this week, making jabs more accessible for communities. Its latest trip saw it visit provide jabs to scores of eligible employees at a food manufacturing firm in Woolston yesterday morning, Tuesday. Greencore is a leading manufacturer of convenience foods, which is proud to supply a wide range of chilled, frozen and ambient products to retail and food service customers across the UK. The Woolston branch was delighted to be visited by the bus, which is operated by a partnership between Central and West Warrington Primary Care Network, Warrington Clinical Commissioning Group, Warrington’s Own Buses and Warrington Borough Council.
A NEW scheme which will see a bus travel around Warrington offering coronavirus vaccines has been hailed as a ‘fantastic’ initiative which will break down barriers. The vaccination bus will go out into communities to administer jabs to people who are already due to have their vaccine but have not been able to attend a vaccination centre. The Central and West Warrington Primary Care Network and NHS Warrington Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are working alongside Warrington’s Own Buses and Warrington Borough Council to take the coronavirus vaccine out into the community on a bus. Anyone who is currently eligible for the vaccine in line with the national priority groups can get their first dose on the bus at one of the upcoming sessions.
A DAILY record number of coronavirus vaccines were administered at Orford Jubilee Hub this week on what is being hailed as ‘Mega Monday’. Around 1,260 jabs were carried out at the vaccination centre, with the operation requiring the assistance of members of the armed forces, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service and St John Ambulance. Maximising the time spent at the site, patients were also able to receive scans to detect potential heart conditions and update their GP records during the 15-minute wait after receiving the vaccine. It demonstrates the scale of the vaccination programme in the town and the organisation and staffing required to ensure everything runs smoothly.

To help, Dr Dan Bunstone and Dr Laura Mount, respective clinical directors of the Halliwell Jones Stadium and Orford Jubilee Hub vaccination centres, return to answer your questions.
