Get your flu jab this week and help us reach 80 per cent herd immunity

November 15, 2018

As a Trust, we’ve done an amazing job so far getting our colleagues protected against the flu.

However, we still have 9 per cent to reach our herd immunity of 80 per cent.

We’re urging those who have not been vaccinated to get their vaccine this week so that colleagues can be protected against the deadly flu virus that still kills 8,000-14,000 people in the UK every mild flu season.

With this in mind, we’re offering the following additional drop-in sessions:

Sandwell

• Friday 16 November: Occupational Health courtyard gardens – 1pm–4pm

City

• Friday 16 November: Old foot health clinic – 9am–12pm

Our nurses will also be walking around both City and Sandwell sites at various times over the next few weeks, please ring them on the flu mobiles if you would like them to come to your ward or department.

• City phone – 07976 640187
• Sandwell phone –  07976 428284

Be sure to check out this video featuring Marian Cooper from theatres who has been ill with the flu in the past and is encouraging all to have their flu vaccination.

Note: The flu vaccine does not contain any pork or meat product or derivatives.
