As we continue to kung-flu-fight we are happy to announce the second flu jab clinic will be held on Wednesday 27 November 2019, (10am – 12pm) at St Margaret’s Hospital, Clinic room, Epping Forest Unit.

We have 20 flu vaccines remaining for staff, so book now as appointments are based on a first-come, first-served basis.

This is your last chance to be a ‘flu fighter’ and protect yourself, your family and colleagues.

Why it’s important to get the flu jab?

1. The flu vaccine will help prevent and protect you from getting the flu
2. Avoid you passing it on to family, friends and other vulnerable people
3. You only need it once every year
4. There’s evidence to suggest the flu vaccine can reduce your risk of having a stroke

For more information on the flu vaccine visit the NHS website, your GP or a Pharmacist.

Thank you to everyone who took part in getting their flu jabs, you are all officially Kung-Flu-Masters!.
