This year we are launching our biggest ever flu campaign to protect ourselves properly and to help keep ourselves, our patients and our loved ones safe. It goes without saying how vital the flu jab is in the time of COVID-19 to keep us well, and to keep us healthy and working as a vital part of the NHS.
As an added incentive for us all to get the jab we have joined forces with UNICEF, who have an incredible programme in place that vaccinates around half of the world’s children. Their ‘Get a Jab ,Give a Jab’ campaign means that when you have your jab, you can donate a jab to a child in need. Globally 15 million deaths could be avoided every year if children were vaccinated. Vaccines protect children against disease and death, saving up to three million lives every year. That’s more than five lives saved every minute of every day. Your donation will go towards either the tetanus, measles or polio vaccination.
All you need to do is simply get your jab and give a jab by letting us know which vaccine you wish to donate to a child in danger, and we will sort the rest. It’s a sobering thought that almost 20 million children will not receive their most basic vaccines this year. We can help to bring that number down.
We are aiming for our biggest ever uptake of flu vaccine this year, so we’ll be announcing more detail soon on where and when you can get it, and who your local ‘vaccinator’ is.
