Pregnant women and children urged to come forward for flu jabs amid concern about low uptake

Pregnant women and children urged to come forward for flu jabs amid concern about low uptake Pregnant women and children are being urged to come forward for flu jabs amid concern about low levels of uptake.

Health officials warned that the main strain in circulation this year is more likely to infect children and young people, as they issued the plea.

Latest figures show take up is significantly lower than this time last year, in most age groups.

It follows the failure of last year’s jabs, which fuelled the highest winter death toll for more than 40 years. The Daily Telegraph
