Staff flu jabs

NHS Leeds Chair Linda Pollard having her flu jab.

All NHS and Social Care staff have a duty of care to protect their patients.

The flu jab is the best way to protect yourself and your family from catching the flu. It’s also vitally important to protect the patients that you care for – many of whom may be older and more vulnerable to the infection.

 In this section of our site you can:

• find out why it is important to be protected against flu (both for you and your patients);
• find out some basic facts about the flu virus; and
• find out about other immunisations.
• find out who your local Flu Champion is and how to contact them
