Still time to receive flu jab after cold snap outbreak

Residents are being urged that there is still time to get protected against winter bugs such as norovirus and the flu during Merseyside's first cold snap. Statistics show that over the last week flu continues to circulate across the UK with early signs that it is beginning to peak. Health bosses in Cheshire and Merseyside are advising the public that there is still time to get the flu vaccine and are urging anyone who is eligible to make sure they get it sooner rather than later.
