Supporting and Protecting our City Together #LCPWVChampions

Wildside is delighted to have become a Community Champion helping to keep the people and communities of Wolverhampton safe.

The Community Champions programme set up by Wolverhampton Learning Communities in partnership with City of Wolverhampton Council is developing a network of Community Champions to encourage the take up of the Covid-19 vaccine and testing and to encourage the city’s residents to stay safe.

We all have an important part to play to tackle COVID-19/ Coronavirus. The vaccine is the best protection and hope that we have. If you are considering the vaccination programme here are some key things to remember:

Vaccines are the way out of this pandemic. An effective vaccine is the best way to protect people from coronavirus and will save thousands of lives. So…

  • When you are asked to attend for a vaccination please say yes
  • You will be contacted by either a GP or letter sent from the NHS
  • There are 3 ways to be vaccinated, at a Hospital Hub if you are in hospital or visiting for an appointment, at a local GP led service or at a pharmacy or larger vaccination centre.
  • Getting vaccinated is easy, when you are contacted, if you have any worries then ask to talk them through.

Whether you have had a vaccine or not, please continue to follow the most up to date guidance to control the virus and save lives.

The latest information and guidance around coronavirus is available on the council’s own coronavirus pages at www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/coronavirus .
