Help NHS avoid a potential "Quad-demic" this winter

New weekly figures from the NHS is going into winter under more pressure than ever before with an average of 1,099 people in hospital with flu every day last week compared to 243 in the same week last year. There is also an 86% increase in patients with norovirus compared to this time last year. COVID-19 and RSV cases are also on the rise.

The NHS has put measures in place to manage extra demand during winter, which include upgrading 24-hour live data centres, strengthening same day emergency care and offering more falls services for older people.

You help, if you are eligible, by having flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccinations which are the best way to protect yourself this winter. Look on the NHS North East London website for Winter Wellness advice.
