Wirral’s Covid-19 cases are currently at a relatively high level, with 1,028 cases in the seven days up to September 1, at a rate of 317 per 100,000.
Parts of Birkenhead and Wallasey form the worst-hit areas in the borough, with Liscard ward, and Birkenhead and Tranmere ward, having the highest and third highest case numbers respectively.
Dr Abhi Mantgani, lead for the service, said: “We have given over 90,000 shots to date and we are excited to work in partnership with Wirral CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) and the council team to bring this service closer to people.
“It is very important that young people have their vaccination and return to normality and their education.
