COVID-19 Booster and Flu vaccination campaign launched

 The NHS and the UK government have now launched a new campaign to encourage those eligible to take their free flu-jab and booster COVID-19 vaccination, to protect the most vulnerable this winter. 

• Following the continuing success of Britain's vaccination programme – saving almost 130,000 lives – health experts are encouraging eligible individuals to get their free flu-jab and booster vaccine to protect as many lives as possible this winter.
   
• The UK government and NHS have now launched the biggest flu programme in history for 2021/22, in partnership with charities and healthcare organisations, to further the success and protection of our vaccine programme and mitigate the effects of combined flu and coronavirus this winter.
   
• It is thanks to Britain's incredible vaccination programme, and our amazing NHS, that we are able to reunite with friends and family this year – we must protect progress already made and continue to protect the most vulnerable from coronavirus.
