Flu is circulating earlier than usual – protect yourself now!

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has confirmed that flu is circulating earlier in the season than usual.

If you haven’t yet had your flu vaccination, it’s not too late — getting protected now can help keep you and those around you well this winter.

💉 Contact us today to book your flu jab.

Flu activity has risen unusually early this season, driven by a new subclade.

On the bright side, our data shows that this year's vaccines offer good protection against the virus - to both children and adults.
