UKHSA Raises Concern Over Low Flu Jab Uptake
Less than one in three people under 65 with long-term health conditions have received a flu vaccination this year. Health officials warn this leaves millions vulnerable as flu cases rise earlier than usual.
"Fewer than one in three under-65s with a long-term health condition have been vaccinated against flu so far this year - leaving millions of patients at increased risk amid an early surge in flu cases," health officials stated.
The early increase in flu cases emphasizes the importance of vaccination, especially for those with chronic health issues.
Key Points
- Flu jab uptake remains low among under-65s with chronic conditions.
- The flu season is starting earlier than previous years.
- Health experts urge increased vaccination to protect at-risk groups.
Summary: The UK Health Security Agency warns that low vaccination rates in high-risk groups put millions at danger amid an unusually early rise in flu infections.
