Millions of people are being urged to have flu and Covid vaccines after experts said they were increasingly worried about a bad flu spike this winter.
Anyone eligible should get their jabs to ease the spike, officials at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warned. They said there will be lower levels of natural immunity compared to previous years as people socialised less during the pandemic.
One expert said they were more worried about flu this year than they had been for several years. The UKHSA warned of a possible “difficult winter” ahead as respiratory viruses, including flu and Covid, circulate widely.
