Northamptonshire people urged to take up flu vaccine offer

Northamptonshire people urged to take up flu vaccine offer People in Northamptonshire who are the most vulnerable to flu are being urged to protect themselves and their family this winter by having a vaccination.

Flu is a highly contagious viral infection that anyone can catch and is most common over the winter period.

Getting the flu jab or nasal spray is one of the most effective ways to reduce potential harm from the seasonal flu virus.

The vaccination is offered for free to those at increased risk from the effects of flu, including: children aged two to eight, people aged 65 and over, pregnant women, people with long-term health conditions, carers and front-line health and social care workers. Northamptonshire Telegraph
