Dr David Crichton, Medical Director at NHS South Yorkshire said:

“This autumn, we are working across South Yorkshire to deliver COVID-19 and flu vaccinations to those most at risk of serious illness. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and your family, while also helping to ease pressure on local health services. Children who take up the flu vaccine also not only protect themselves but also help reduce the spread of illness to more vulnerable friends and relatives.

“As we head into winter, when we spend more time indoors and viruses spread more easily, vaccination is the most effective step you can take to stay well. Since it takes several days for immunity to build, we strongly encourage everyone who is eligible to get their flu and COVID-19 vaccines as soon as possible, ensuring maximum protection throughout the colder months.”
