A campaign has been launched to raise awareness of the double danger of Covid-19 and flu during this winter. Health chiefs across Greater Manchester are encouraging residents to get vaccinated against both illnesses which are potential killers.
To illustrate the issue the viruses have been brought to life in the shape of two giant monster characters. The terrible two visited Stretford Mall in Trafford to let local residents know about the disruption the viruses can cause, how they can spoil people’s plans in the run-up to the festive season and the health threat they pose.
The campaign also directs people to where and how they can have their vaccinations, as well as other support, including cost of living advice. Coun Jane Slater, Trafford council's executive member for health wellbeing and equalities, said: “We are very keen to ensure our residents are protected from the flu and Covid, which we know can have devastating effects to the health of our most vulnerable.”
