The clinics will be held on:<\/p>\n
The vaccination bus will be outside the pathology department at the front of the hospital at Walsall Manor Hospital and outside the emergency department at New Cross Hospital.<\/p>\n
Sally Roberts, chief nursing officer and deputy chief executive officer for the NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board, said: “As part of our efforts to protect staff, patients and residents, we are making getting vaccinated as accessible as possible.<\/p>\n
“This clinic is designed to offer a welcoming, convenient space where eligible people can get vaccinated against flu and COVID-19 to protect themselves and their loved ones this winter.”<\/p>\n
Caroline Whyte, deputy chief nursing officer at The Royal Wolverhampton and Walsall Healthcare NHS Trusts, said: “For lots of different reasons, we recognise it may not always be easy for people to get to a GP practice or pharmacy for their vaccination.<\/p>\n
“To make sure they don’t miss out, this roving vehicle will bring the flu and COVID vaccines to our two main hospital sites.<\/p>\n
“Getting the vaccine means milder symptoms and a quicker recovery if you catch the COVID or flu virus, so I would urge every Black Country resident who is eligible to make sure they have it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The clinics will be held on: The vaccination bus will be outside the pathology department at the front…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146880,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[134,527,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-146879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146879\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
