Healthcare and social care professionals, as well as unpaid carers, are being urged to take up the free flu vaccine to protect themselves and the vulnerable people they support. Flu can easily be transmitted before any physical symptoms appear, putting individuals over 85 and those with underlying health conditions at severe risk. Last winter, despite strong efforts in regions like the South West, many care workers and unpaid carers remained unvaccinated. Authorities remind the public that carrying the virus and falling ill are entirely different matters, and getting the jab prevents hospital admissions while safeguarding vital daily support arrangements. Eligible workers can access the vaccine through workplace schemes, participating pharmacies, GP practices, or by booking online via the NHS App and website. Fuente: Cornwall Live
