UKHSA Raises Concern Over Low Flu Vaccination Rates
Health officials have alerted the public that fewer than one in three people under 65 with long-term health conditions have received the flu vaccine this year. This low uptake leaves millions vulnerable as flu cases begin to rise earlier than usual.
Early Increase in Flu Cases
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warns that the early surge in flu infections poses a significant risk, especially to those with chronic illnesses who remain unvaccinated.
"Fewer than one in three under-65s with a long-term health condition have been vaccinated against flu so far this year."
At-Risk Groups
- People under 65 with ongoing health issues
- Millions remain unprotected against increasing flu infections
The UKHSA urges timely vaccination to reduce the risk of severe illness and protect those most vulnerable.
Author’s summary: Early flu case increases highlight the urgent need for higher vaccination rates among under-65s with chronic conditions to protect millions at risk.
