Cllr David Coppinger, cabinet member for adult services and health, said the time is right for older people, pregnant women, anyone with a health condition, carers and those with a weakened immune system to get the jab.

"Many pharmacies also offer the flu vaccination for around £10 and I encourage everyone to get themselves protected as soon as possible."
