Thousands of people across Bradford and Airedale are being urged to protect themselves and others against flu this winter.
Last year’s winter flu outbreak resulted in more than 600 deaths in the UK and thousands more people died with flu as a contributory factor.
More people died from flu and pneumonia than those who died with breast cancer or prostate cancer in 2009.
More than 50,000 people across the district are now being invited to contact their local GP practice.
Information leaflets designed to bust flu myths and help educate people on the importance of getting the jab will be available at GP surgeries and more information can be found at bradford. nhs.uk or nhs.uk/conditions/flu-jab Full story in Thursday's Telegraph & Argus
