Flu jabs rolled out for pregnant women and children in England ahead of winter

Flu vaccines are available for children and pregnant women in the UK as of Monday, and a pilot plan is spreading to implement JABs in kindergartens.

According to NHS England, health officials, after seeing that last season’s last season took more than 300,000 hospital beds, calling to vaccinate in winter after the last season’s more than 300,000 hospital beds were taken.

Vaccination is available as well as those aged six months and 18 years of age in clinical risk groups as well as all children aged two to 16 years.

NHS Dr. Amanda Doyle, the National Director of the First Step and Community Services in the UK, said: “The threat of serious illnesses from the flu and Covid-19 is very real and every year due to these bad viruses-we see hundreds of thousands of people who are taken to hospital in winter.

“Vaccination is our best defense against these viruses and can be life-saving-so I urinate to come to the forefront to protect the parents of mothers, young children and young people as soon as possible or to make an appointment for their jabs.”

While most school -age children take shots on school fields, the younger ones can take them in nursery or GP. Pregnant women may get vaccinated in birth appointments or GP or pharmacies.

As of October, vaccination will be presented to the age of 65 or to clinical risk groups. It will also be presented to home personnel, health and social care workers and those who close contact with people who have suppressed immunity.

NHS also offers Covid vaccines to people over 75 years of age or immunosuppresses. Appropriate individuals can book both JABs from the healthcare reservation system as of Monday.

Health Minister Stephen Kinnock said: “Before the seasonal viruses are kept, we are now taking action to maintain the most vulnerable and to build our defense.

“Last winter showed us a significant impact of the Flu vaccine program on hospitalization, and protected patients from winter pressure from the disease and NHS.

“I urge all suitable families to come to the forefront as soon as possible.

In January of this year, more than a dozen hospital in the UK announced critical events after serious overloading by the number of influenza cases of emergency departments. The highest warning level of NHS is given when services cannot provide critical services and patients take risks to safety, ie they must call partners to assist the staff.
