SWINE FLU
The Chief Medical Officer has again strongly recommended that people over 5 years old in certain risk categories should be vaccinated against swine flu.
The risk categories include all those people who have chronic heart, lung (including asthma which requires treatment), and kidney disease; diabetes, and those who have compromised immune systems. They also include those who live with immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women of more than 12 weeks gestation.
He is also advising that ALL children aged 6 months – 5 years should receive the vaccination.
