Midlands plea to people to take up flu jabs before Christmas

Ms Grace, at NHS Midlands, said GP surgeries and pharmacies provided a huge range of vaccination clinics.
In Walsall and Wolverhampton, a vaccination bus, external is visiting hospitals and people can walk in to get their jab.
“With less than a month to go until Christmas, we want to make it as easy as possible for people to get their vaccination and be protected,” Ms Grace added.
Sandra Bloor, from Midlands Partnership University NHS school-aged immunisation service, said flu could be a “really unpleasant illness” for children.
She said the risk of other family members getting the virus increased if youngsters had not had the flu vaccine.
“We would hate for it to spoil your Christmas,” she said. “The nasal spray only takes a moment, it’s gentle and painless, and it’s such an easy way to help protect your little ones this winter.”
