Liverpool areas with the lowest levels of booster vaccine uptake

More than 200,000 people in Liverpool have now received a booster or third jab of a coronavirus vaccine.

This accounts for 41.5% of the city's population aged 12 and over.

Latest government statistics show that as of January 4, 70.3% of the city's eligible population have had at least a first dose of the jab, while 63.9% have received at least two jabs.

Nationally, the figure for booster / third dose uptake stands at 60.1%, while 90.2% of people aged 12 and over across the country have received at least a first jab, and 82.6% have been given at least two.

This means Liverpool is some way behind the national average for all three jabs.

Every person aged 12 and over in the country can book their first or second doses, while third doses are available for people with a severely weakened immune system aged 18 years old and over.

People aged 18 and over are available to book boosters, as are people aged 16 and 17 years old who are at high risk from covid or are frontline health and social care workers

In its frequently asked questions about booster jabs, NHS Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group stated last year: "The colder weather this autumn and winter will mean people spending more time inside again, increasing the likelihood for covid-19 and other viruses to be contracted and spread.

"It’s therefore really important to protect yourself and your loved ones ahead of winter by getting vaccinated as soon as possible - and getting the booster when you become eligible too."

With Liverpool lagging behind the national picture in vaccinations, we've listed the areas of the city with the lowest levels of uptake of the booster jab
