Winter Vaccines
'Tidal Wave’ of Flu Hitting Hospitals Across The North West
Flu hit hospitals in the North West even harder last week, as a ‘tidal wave’ of infections led to a 28% increase in hospital cases across just seven days.
The NHS is encouraging eligible people to get vaccinated without delay if they haven’t done so already to avoid “festive flu” with 1153 patients with flu in hospital last week – from 825 in the previous week.
