Fears of a “Winter ‘Twindemic’”
- Tens of millions of people across the UK are being urged to get vaccinated as soon as possible
- Officials are expecting a resurgence in flu infections that are capable of causing severe disease in the coming months
- The return to almost pre-pandemic levels of mixing in the UK means the virus is ripe to bounce back this season, when immunity in the population is low
33 million people in the UK are eligible for a free flu vaccine this autumn
- 26 million of whom are also eligible for an autumn Covid booster
- Flu and Covid shots are available for all over 50s, people at clinical risk, those living with immunosuppressed people, and frontline health and social care workers
