With the seasonal flu vaccination campaign underway, personal
injury solicitors Bury are reminding people who are eligible to receive the
inoculation that they should do so as soon as possible.
People who may be eligible for free flu vaccines include people over the
age of 65, pregnant women, and people with long-term health problems such as
heart disease, diabetes and asthma. Carers and residents of nursing and
residential homes are also able to receive the vaccination.
Most people who come down with the flu will not face any serious health
problems, but will need to take some time off work and will feel particularly
unwell for around a week. Certain demographics can develop complications from
the flu, such as chest infections, and these can progress into serious,
potentially life-threatening conditions. No win no fee solicitors Bury are
asking all these people to ensure they receive the inoculation before it is too
late, even if they feel like their health and fitness is at a good level and
that they can handle the flu.
Local GPs across Bury are keen to encourage all applicable patients to
receive the flu vaccine before this season's flu strains become widespread. The
inoculation is not only potentially a life-saver, but is free and very safe.
Schools across the borough are also offering pupils aged between four and
11 years old a nasal flu vaccination, which can be administered within schools.
So far, 9,000 children in Bury have received this vaccination. Not only willthis prevent children from developing the flu, but it will also reduce the
disease's transmission, as school children are some of the biggest spreaders of
the influenza virus.
Bury is one of just six areas nationwide that is offering schoolchildren
the nasal flu vaccination. Personal injury solicitors Bury are pleased that the
town has this distinction, and hope the scheme is successfully replicated
across the UK next year.
No win no fee solicitors would urge carers and people who work in
residential home and care homes, and the employers of these people, that they
could be deemed to have behaved in a negligent fashion if they fail to protect
care home residents from the flu by failing to take up the free vaccinations.
Anyone who develops the flu is strongly advised to stay at home to reduce the
disease's transmission, as they may inadvertently infect someone who is unable
to effectively combat the virus.
