All children ‘to be offered flu jab’ amid fears of horror winter

All children in Britain could be offered flu jabs this autumn amid fears that the UK could be facing one of its worst flu seasons in history. Those under the age of 16, as well as over 50s, will be included in the rollout, alongside millions of others with common health conditions, according to the Telegraph. Sources told the paper that vaccinations will be expanded this year to cover all pupils at secondary school, making it the biggest immunisation programme on record. Jabs are usually only granted to under-fives, primary school pupils, and those in the first year of secondary school.
