UK Flu Theat this winter

[Pete Grey]

Here in the UK the flu vaccine protects against 3 strains of virus. A/Michigan type, A/Hong Kong type and B/Brisbane type. Already we are reading in the press that the vaccine is not effective for everyone. The advantage of the vaccine is if you get flu it’s milder, lasts 4 or 5 days instead of 3 weeks minimum, according to the NHS. So if you can, keep out of crowds and keep your fingers crossed, good luck.
