New super flu vaccine rollout begins as NHS regroups from 'busiest summer'
Reported byBBC Health ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
The NHS has updated this winter's flu vaccine to protect against the Super-K strain that circulated last year; schoolchildren and pregnant women can receive free doses from Tuesday, with other eligible groups able to get vaccinated from October.
Super-K is not a medical term indicating the virus is harder to treat—it means the population has yet to build immunity to this mutated strain.
