Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! The flu jab…drop in clinics available now

November 16, 2020

This week our Flu-Per Troopers have set aside dedicated times for colleagues to visit them and have their flu jabs.

We are asking everyone to please step forward and protect themselves, their patients, colleagues and loved ones from the flu this year. As you may have seen in the news, there is good news about a potential COVID vaccine which may be available in the weeks and months ahead. It is likely that there will need to be a break between receiving the flu vaccine and receive the COVID vaccine so we need to ensure our staff are protected from flu over the next two weeks.

Now, more than ever, colleagues need to take advantage of the free flu vaccination on offer so that we can tackle winter safely together. Over 4,500 colleagues have had their jab already, and if you are one of those people, thank you.

We need colleagues to be protected from the flu and will shortly be closing off our flu vaccination programme for 2020 so that we can focus on preparing for a COVID vaccine, should the effectiveness and safety trials prove successful.

You can take advantage of your free flu vaccination at the following times and places. Please attend on your own where possible and observe social distancing guidelines at all times.
