The "tripledemic" – a triple threat of flu, COVID, and RSV – is looming, and health experts are worried. Millions of Brits who are at high risk of serious illness are choosing to skip the flu jab, despite the clear danger.
Think you're healthy enough to dodge the vaccine? Maybe, but if you're older, have a long-term health condition, or are pregnant, you're actually at much higher risk of complications from these viruses.
Why is getting the flu jab so important right now?
It can save your life. The flu can be incredibly serious, especially for vulnerable groups.
It helps protect others. By getting vaccinated, you're reducing the spread of the virus and helping to keep your community healthy.
Combined with COVID and RSV, it's a risky mix. The chances of a severe illness are much greater if you catch all three viruses at once.
What are you waiting for? It's super easy to get your flu jab – check with your GP or local pharmacy. It's a small step that could make a big difference to your health this winter.
Don't let the 'tripledemic' catch you out. Get jabbed!
