Away from excitement about the coronavirus vaccines, medics in north London are desperately urging pregnant women in particular to get the seasonal flu jab.
Whittington Hospital midwife Kate Aziz is among those encouraging expectant mums to get the more well-known flu jab as part of a London-wide campaign to fight the “double threat” of coronavirus and seasonal flu this winter.
This comes as Public Health England data revealed four out of five pregnant women had not had the flu jab this year.
Katie, a midwife and a vaccine specialist at the Whittington, wanted to take the opportunity to remind pregnant women that the flu jab was safe at any stage, and vital to the health of both mother and baby.
