Get a flu jab to protect yourself...and the NHS

EVERYONE eligible should make sure they get their flu jab — and they won’t just be helping themselves.

The NHS is coming under enormous strain as flu cases soar. It’s an inescapable fact that the virus is more virulent in some years than others, but we can play our part to help the health service cope.

That means taking up the offer of a vaccination. Flu is no laughing matter, and you could be saving your own life. You could also be freeing up a hospital bed for someone with a condition that cannot be prevented.
