Warning over vaccine fatigue as flu season will be 'worse than usual'

Independent pharmacy chain Well Pharmacy has issued a warning to encourage people to book their flu jabs as soon as possible, as new research revealed today shows a real sense that ‘vaccine fatigue’ has set in across the UK.

Well Pharmacy is concerned as the winter flu season is expected to be worse than usual – and research carried out by the chain shows that a quarter of people (25%) think that after so many Covid-19 jabs in the last few years, ‘vaccine fatigue’ has well and truly set in, leading to a perceived lack of motivation in others to get their jabs.

23% of people said they feel people are tired of hearing about vaccines, with 14% confessing they themselves are bored of hearing about jabs – despite 38% of people saying they are grateful to have access to flu and Covid vaccines.
