Thousands of pensioners in Northants risking health by shunning flu jab New figures have revealed that over 45,000 pensioners in Northamptonshire have still not had the flu jab.
Latest figures for the NHS Nene Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) area show that just 57 per cent of patients over 65 and 32 per cent of the eligible people under 65 have had the flu vaccine.
The uptake is also low among pregnant women with just 31 per cent protecting themselves and their babies against the potentially devastating effects of flu.
As a result, health leaders at NHS Nene CCG are now reminding all those 'at risk' to get the flu vaccine. Northampton Herald and Post
