The NHS has warned that people are more likely to be vulnerable to the flu this year as Covid-19 restrictions have now eased following two years of lockdown.
Experts have warned that the winter could see a “twindemic” of rising Covid-19 infections coupled with a surge in severe flu caused by the same virulent strain that’s sweeping the southern hemisphere.
The "twindemic" could strike simultaneously in the coming months and begin to develop from as early as October, rather than December as is usual.
