HEALTH experts at NHS England in Cumbria are urging all parents with children who have not already booked a flu vaccine, to contact their doctor's practice and book it now.
Dr Claire Bradford, head of public health commissioning, Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear at NHS England, said:
“The flu vaccine will not only help to protect your child from getting flu, it also stops the disease spreading from them to their family, carers and the wider population."
