The threat of a major outbreak of flu in the UK is still of concern this winter. Flu which has severely affected Australia during their winter, our summer, has been named ‘Aussie flu’ and is predicted to hit the UK this winter.
However, Flu monitors show that there is a low incidence of flu generally within the UK on 16/11/17. Some hotspots are visible such as in Croydon, Berwick upon Tweed and other areas.
Businesses, schools and other organisations are encouraged to vaccinate their work force so that important services are not disrupted by an outbreak forcing closure, lost sales or at least poor service.
Companies such as Global Health Travel Clinic offer mobile clinics so that the workforce can be vaccinated whilst at work ensuring a take up of vaccination and minimal disruption to the working day.
