GPs urged to prepare for ‘rebound’ flu season
Low uptake of the influenza vaccine this year adds to population vulnerability as the country emerges from COVID-19, experts say
GPs have been warned to brace for a “rebound” flu season next year, with the Immunisation Coalition predicting a spike in cases as international travel resumes and COVID-19 restrictions are eased.
Immunisation providers should also place their orders for flu vaccine stocks before 19 November, the group says, to ensure there is enough supply to meet 2022 demand.
