Health authorities in the Midlands are urging residents to receive flu vaccinations before Christmas. There is less than a month left for people to get protected against this seasonal illness.
Availability of Vaccination Clinics
GP surgeries and pharmacies across the Midlands offer a wide range of vaccination clinics. In addition, vaccination buses are scheduled to visit hospitals in Walsall and Wolverhampton. Residents can walk in and receive their flu shot conveniently.
Importance of Vaccination for Children
According to Sandra Bloor from the Midlands Partnership University NHS school-aged immunisation service, flu poses significant risks, especially for children. She emphasized that unvaccinated children increase the chances of spreading the virus to other family members.
Quick and Painless Solution

“We would hate for it to spoil your Christmas,” Bloor stated, highlighting the importance of flu vaccinations. Health officials recommend that families take advantage of the available resources to safeguard their health this winter.
