The UK is preparing for a hard winter with everything that is going on. The flu is always an issue when coming into Winter, however, there is another issue that could make it hard to experience. Covid-19 is known to be more infectious during cold times.
Many southern hemisphere nations have had their most rampant flu season for years. This means that it is advised to get your flu jab before the winter nights start.
Health experts are urging anyone who is eligible for a flu shot to get one.

“We do believe we are starting to see our autumn wave of Covid, said the UK Health Security Agency.
NHS director for vaccinations and screening Steve Russell said: “This winter could be the first time we see the effects of the so called ‘twindemic’ with both Covid and flu in full circulation, so it is vital that those most susceptible to serious illness from these viruses come forward for vaccines in order to protect themselves and those around them.”
Before the cold winter nights, everyone is advised to get their Covid-19 vaccination before then, as well as the flu jabs to prevent anything bad from happening!
