7 Dec, 2025
Summary
- 250,000 vulnerable individuals are encouraged to receive the flu vaccine.
- The vaccination is available at GP practices, pharmacies, and walk-in clinics.
- Getting vaccinated takes minutes and provides extended protection against flu.
An urgent call to action has been issued by the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Integrated Care System, encouraging 250,000 vulnerable individuals to get their flu vaccine. The trust specifically appeals to those who are clinically at-risk and have not yet received their seasonal flu jab.
Access to the vaccine is being made straightforward, with eligible individuals able to receive it at their local GP practices, participating pharmacies, or by visiting designated walk-in clinics. This widespread availability aims to ensure maximum uptake among the target population.
Cali Makewell, the vaccination service lead, emphasized the swiftness and efficacy of the vaccine. She stated that the vaccination process requires only a few minutes of an individual's time, yet provides several months of vital protection against the flu.
