People at higher risk can still stay flu-free this winter

Due to the tremendous response from the Canterbury public, we are running low on flu vaccines. For the remainder of this flu season, the following priority groups will be the focus of the vaccination programme:

  • Pregnant women
  • Those aged 65 and over
  • Children aged 4 and under with serious respiratory illnesses
  • People with serious health conditions.

Flu shots are available from your GP team or some pharmacists.
