'Room for improvement' over flu jabs for Shropshire hospital workers

The uptake in flu vaccinations for frontline healthcare workers at Shropshire’s hospitals has room for improvement, according to non-executive directors on the trust’s board. More than three quarters of frontline healthcare workers at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and Telford’s Princess Royal Hospital received the flu vaccination this year. Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust’s flu campaign for 2018/19 was taken up by 75.37 per cent of frontline staff. Chief executive Simon Wright previously said the uptake had increased significantly during his time at the trust.
