People aged 60-64 to start receiving COVID-19 vaccination invitation letters

In the next week, local residents aged 60-64 will receive a letter inviting them to come forward for a Covid-19 vaccination.

This comes as Public Health England confirm that everyone on their GP's learning disabilities register will now be offered a vaccine "as soon as possible", as 150,000 people are added to priority group six.

The quickest and easiest way to arrange an appointment is via the national booking service, which offers appointments at local NHS vaccination centres from 9am-11pm, seven days a week.

The closest mass vaccination centre for people living in the Frodsham area is Chester Racecourse, but other venues include Alderley Park Conference Centre and five pharmacies across Cheshire.

People aged 65 or over who have already been invited for a COVID-19 vaccination are also advised to use the national booking service to arrange their appointment as GP-led services are currently focusing on vaccinating people aged 16-64 who are clinically vulnerable.

The national booking service is available online here or by calling 119.
