Influenza is about to hit the northern hemisphere, but will this year’s season be as bad as the “tripledemic” of influenza, COVID-19 and RSV that we experienced last winter?
This year’s flu and COVID-19 vaccine programmes will start earlier than planned as a precautionary measure, following the identification of a new COVID-19 variant, according to an announcement by the UK Government’s Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). The decision means those most at risk from winter illness – including people in care homes for older people, the clinically vulnerable, those aged 65 and over, health and social care staff and carers – will be offered a vaccine in England from September.
