UK Flu Crisis: Urgent Plea for Children's Vaccination
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
The UK is facing a severe flu crisis, with hospitalizations surging by 55% in a week, disproportionately affecting children. Pharmacy leaders criticize the NHS for a botched vaccine rollout, with many eligible children unvaccinated. Resident doctors plan a strike, demanding a pay raise, adding to the pressure on the health service. The NHS is boosting vaccination rates, especially among children and frontline workers, as the current strain, H3N2, is particularly concerning due to its significant mutation over the summer. Health officials urge parents to vaccinate their children to protect vulnerable older relatives during the Christmas holidays.
