The NHS has joined forces with the government and trade unions to launch the first national flu-vaccination campaign for NHS staff.
The National NHS Staff Seasonal Flue Vaccination campaign aims to raise awareness among NHS workers about the importance of receiving the jab and the potential for them to transmit germs to vulnerable patients if they are not inoculated.
New figures released by the Department of Health revealed that only a third of front-line NHS staff had season flu vaccinations last year. In addition, figures published in May by the Health Protection Agency showed that, during the last flu season, more than 600 deaths in the UK were directly related to the virus.
