This week, 230 under-fives were hospitalised, compared to just 12 at the same time last year.

The NHS is writing to over 800,000 parents to encourage them to take their children to get the vaccine at a GP practice ahead of Christmas. Children under five are given a nasal spray, unless it is not medically appropriate.

Uptake in children aged two to three is behind last year’s figures, with just under 35% of children having received their flu jab so far, down 9% on last year.

Seems like everything is going great in the western world with all the viruses right now. :yea:

But yeah, I’m sure it’s just immunity debt causing this. :so-true:
