Medical experts on This Morning urged children, pregnant women and the elderly to get their flu vaccinations this winter.
Talking to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, two doctors appeared on the ITV show as they explained that flu hospitalisations are on the rise. They also highlighted signs and symptoms of flu to look out for as the virus can be hard to differentiate from other illnesses.
Infectious diseases expert, Dr Beate Kampmann said: "On an average year, half a million people die of flu. Just in 2018, 1,500 people died of flu and the ones who are particularly susceptible are small children, but also pregnant women and the elderly, which are the primary groups we really need to vaccinate."
