Greater Manchester Older People's Network Vaccination Champion

Are you interested in becoming a vaccinations champion for older people?

The Greater Manchester Older People’s Network are working with the NHS to share information about vaccinations with people across Greater Manchester who can then share with their communities, groups and networks.

Viruses common in winter can make some people very unwell and result in serious problems that may need hospital care. The NHS offers free vaccines to those at greatest risk, so they can get the protection they need.
