Why your flu jab matters more than ever
Our Chief Nurse, Jenny, has recorded an important message for all clinical teams. With flu season starting early and rates in the North West higher than the national average, the risks are real - and rising.
Research shows flu isn’t just unpleasant; it can significantly increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, especially in the first few weeks after infection. That’s why getting vaccinated isn’t just about protecting yourself, it's about keeping our loved ones safe, and setting the standard for safe, compassionare practice.
In the video, Jenny explains:
- Why flu vaccination is vital for patient safety and team wellbeing
- How it helps prevent outbreaks and protects vulnerable patients
- The role we all play as healthcare professionals, leading by example.
Watch the video and join us in keeping our community healthy. Let’s get vaccinated and make a difference.
