A new campaign encourages people with long-term health conditions to get a flu jab ahead of winter. Health experts advise vaccination can provide protection from the worst effects of flu for those most at risk.
The campaign targets people with conditions including heart, kidney and lung disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, neurological conditions and immunosuppression. Data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) shows that the flu vaccine prevented around 100,000 people from being hospitalised in England last winter.
Those eligible can book quickly and easily at nhs.uk/book-flu, on the NHS App or by calling 119.
