Get your flu jab on site: Medicine jab-a-thon at City today

December 23, 2019

As our flu season continues into its 13th week we have administered a total of 4,333 vaccinations to colleagues with 3,656 of jabs being given to patient facing colleagues as of Friday 20 December.

We must remind colleagues that the flu vaccination does not give you the flu and it is vital that colleagues get the jab as it helps protect you, your patients and your friends and family.

Be sure to check out this video featuring Paula Gardner, Chief Nurse talking about the importance of getting your flu jab and reach herd immunity.

There will be a medicine jab-a-thon across City today in the following areas today:

  • AMU
  • ED
  • D28
  • D26
  • D15/D17
  • Cardiology
  • D11

If you haven’t had chance to get your flu vaccination, be sure to meet one our vaccinators.

The flu prize draw has been extended so there is still time to win one of these fantastic prizes if you get your vaccination:

  • £200 shopping vouchers
  • 7” fire tablet
  • Amazon fire TV stick
  • Echo dot
  • Tassimo coffee maker

Are you refusing your flu vaccination due to personal or religious beliefs associated with pork? If so please be aware that there are no porcine products contained within the adult flu vaccination on offer at our Trust.

Have you had your flu jab elsewhere?

If you have had your flu jab at your local GP or pharmacy you still count towards our overall flu vaccination total!
