INSIDE THIS WEEK: Health experts urge 16 and 17-year-olds to get the Covid jab HEALTH experts in Sefton are encouraging young people aged 16 and 17 to get their first dose of Covid-19 vaccine at local vaccination centres. Vaccines are being offered to 16 and 17 year olds at Seaforth Village Surgery and Southport Centre for Health and Wellbeing, as well as some of the pharmacy-led vaccination sites. You can check other walk-in sites in Sefton and beyond via the NHS ‘find a walk-in coronavirus vaccination’ site. Anthony McNally is one of many young Sefton residents who recently got their first Covid-19 jab at a local walk-in vaccination centre. He said: “It’s really important that everyone gets their jab as soon as they can; to look after your nan and also so we can go on holiday and get out again.” NHS data from August shows that people aged 18 to 34 made up 1 in 5 of those admitted to hospital in England with Covid-19. Three quarters of adults in the UK have now been fully vaccinated. This is mirrored in Sefton where over 379,000 doses have been administered to those who are eligible. Dr Pete Chamberlain, local GP and chair at NHS South Sefton CCG, said: “There are a number of local vaccine centres where 16 and 17 year olds can get their first jab. “Parental consent is not required to be vaccinated and you do not need to be registered with a GP. Check the NHS website to find a centre near you that’s offering the vaccine to your age group. “At some vaccination sites there is no appointment required and you don’t need ID. “If you have your NHS number bring it, but don’t worry if you don’t have it. Just turn up, get your jab and get back to living your life.” Those aged 16 and 17 in the UK will be offered a first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Further work is being done to establish whether 16 and 17 year olds will require a second dose.
