Parents should get their kids jabbed to protect their grandparents at Christmas, health officials have warned – this is a breaking story
Parents should get their kids jabbed as it’s “now or never” if they want to protect grandparents at Christmas, the NHS has said.
Caroline Temmink, the NHS director of vaccinations, said: “As families gear up for festive celebrations together, it’s now or never to get protected against flu in time for Christmas.
“Children are super-spreaders and with flu infections rising fast in younger age groups, getting kids vaccinated is one of the best ways to prevent serious illness, especially for grandparents and loved ones who are vulnerable.”
