Vaccinations

Still time to boost your immunity

Research shows after 20 weeks the effectiveness of the second COVID-19 vaccine has reduced to 62.5% for Pfizer and 44.1% for AstraZeneca, so ensure you get your COVID-19 booster vaccine to top up your immunity.

You can book your booster at our Aintree vaccine hub here: www.liverpoolft.nhs.uk/staffvaccination-programme/how-to-getyour-vaccination/

The latest Government guidance states you can now book your jab from three months after your second COVID-19 dose.

It is important that we do all we can to protect our patients and each other from the spread of COVID-19 infection.

Unvaccinated staff

The Government has announced, from 1 April 2022, they will be extending legislation for all frontline healthcare staff to have COVID-19 vaccines.

This means that staff in such roles will need to have had their first COVID-19 vaccine on or before 3 Feb 2022.

We will be reaching out directly to any staff who have not yet received their first doses to discuss this in more detail and will provide updates as more guidance is issued. Some individuals can apply for medical exemption.
