UKHSA Warns on Low Flu Vaccination Rates
Less than one-third of people under 65 with chronic health conditions have received the flu vaccine this year. Health officials express concern as an early increase in flu cases puts millions at greater risk.
"Fewer than one in three under-65s with a long-term health condition have been vaccinated against flu so far this year."
Health Risks and Early Flu Surge
The low vaccine uptake exacerbates vulnerability among patients with existing health issues during a premature rise in flu infections.
Call to Action
- Health authorities urge those with long-term illnesses to get vaccinated promptly.
- The aim is to reduce complications and hospitalizations linked to the flu.
Summary: The UKHSA highlights dangerous low flu jab rates among vulnerable under-65s amid rising flu cases, urging immediate vaccination to protect millions.
