HEALTH chiefs are calling on people over 40 to attend two pop-up vaccination clinics in Crewe this week.

No appointments will be needed for the mobile clinics which will set up in Asda's car park tomorrow (Tuesday) from 10am to 4pm and by the side of Delamere Resource Centre in Delamere Street on Thursday during the same time period.

They are part of a Covid-19 vaccination drive supervised by Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) aimed at giving people across the county easier access to vaccines.

Other venues also offering jabs to those aged 40 or over who have not had their first dose will be at Winsford, Northwich, Chester and Ellesmere Port.

The CCG says there is no need to book and people can simply walk-in, but will need to provide their date of birth, address and an email or phone number.

The pop-up clinics will be accompanied by a vaccine bus owned by Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service and operated by the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP).

CWP Chief Executive Sheena Cumiskey said: "These clinics give us the ability to reach people in the areas they live, giving them a better access to the Covid-19 vaccine.

"It's important that when people get the opportunity to have the vaccine to not hesitate and attend one of our clinics, it's the best way to protect yourself, your family and friends."

Cheshire East Council leader Cllr Sam Corcoran, said: "Cheshire's vaccination programme has been a great success so far. However, we are now seeing increasing infection rates in Cheshire East and we need to work together locally to beat this

"These new clinics provide another option for eligible people to be vaccinated easily and conveniently. There's really no reason to delay getting your jab."
