Less than one-third of people under 65 with chronic health conditions have received the flu vaccine this year. Health officials warn that this low uptake leaves millions vulnerable as flu cases rise earlier than usual.
“Fewer than one in three under-65s with a long-term health condition have been vaccinated against flu so far this year,” health authorities stated.
The early increase in flu infections highlights the urgent need to boost vaccination coverage among at-risk groups.
Low flu vaccine uptake among vulnerable under-65s amid rising cases increases health risks, urging prompt action from healthcare providers and patients.
