The NHS has issued a "flu jab SOS," with England’s Chief Nursing Officer urging people to get vaccinated now as the worst of the flu season is only weeks away. Eligible adults are encouraged to be protected before the peak of the winter flu surge.
The NHS warns of an early flu wave hitting more than a month sooner than usual this year, with cases triple those from the same period last year. To combat this, eligible adults are advised to get their flu jab promptly to gain full protection.
“The flu vaccination is the best possible way to protect yourself and your loved ones against flu as we move into the winter months. It’s a quick and painless injection and it really will help you keep yourself and your family well through winter.”
The NHS continues to stress the importance of timely vaccination to help reduce the impact of flu this winter.
