Alert: NHS FLU JAB SOS

As you may of read or heard on the news the number of flu patients in hospital has hit a record high in England for this time of year with NHS leaders warning the country is facing an unprecedented flu season.

NHS figures show there were an average of 1,700 patients in hospital with flu last week - that is more than 50% higher than the same time last year - and early indications from this week are that hospitalisations have continued climbing sharply since.

It comes as the flu season hit a month earlier than normal this year, with experts warning there appears to be a more severe strain of the virus circulating.

Flu strikes every winter, but this year something seems to be different.

A seasonal flu virus suddenly mutated in the summer. It appears to evade some of our immunity, and is a type of flu that history suggests is more severe.

The NHS has now issued a "flu jab SOS" as fears grow that this will add up to a brutal winter.

We are encouraging all eligible patients to have their flu vaccination as soon as possible - please pop into the surgery or give us a call to book in.
