Cllr have received the below letter – asking us to promote a bigger take-up of the influenza vacine.
‘This winter, the NHS has launched a major flu vaccination campaign across Solihull, Birmingham and the Black Country, aimed at increasing uptake among eligible residents and helping to reduce avoidable illness and pressure on local NHS services.
In Solihull, flu vaccination uptake among eligible groups last winter averaged 54.5%, falling to just 34.6% in some communities.
We would greatly welcome your support in encouraging eligible residents to take up the offer of a free flu vaccination and helping us reach communities through your local networks and social media channels.
Please find attached a letter (posted below) with further information about the campaign, including suggested social media messaging, key messages and links to ready-to-use communications resources.’
Influenza is a killer. Let’s get inoculated.
