Brace for early flu season in England and get vaccinated, say experts

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has warned that the flu season in England could start earlier than usual this year. The rise in flu levels is being driven by cases among children and young people. Public health experts are urging those eligible for a free flu vaccination to get it as soon as possible to protect themselves and help reduce the burden on the healthcare system. The UKHSA data shows an increase in flu cases, particularly among younger adults and schoolchildren. Experts advise that getting vaccinated is crucial, especially for vulnerable individuals, to mitigate the potential impact of an early and severe flu season.
