Department of Health Seasonal Flu Plan 2011-2012
Who needs the seasonal flu jab?
Seasonal flu vaccination programme for 2011-2012
Evidence collected over the last few years has shown that patients in at-risk groups were 11 times more likely to die from seasonal flu than otherwise healthy individuals, which shows the importance of the flu vaccinations for those groups. Evidence also showed that in 2010-2011, uptake in the at-risk groups in patients under 65 was much lower (50.4%), than that recommended by the WHO (75%). Uptake in pregnant women was only 38%. Earlier this year the Chief Medical Officer (England) suggested that ‘A reasonable trajectory for increases in uptake in clinical risk groups and pregnant women might be 60% in 2011-2012, and 70% in 2012-2013, so that an uptake of 75% can be reached or exceeded in 2013-2014'.
We would therefore like to encourage practices to ensure that those in the at-risk groups are given priority if at all possible.
At-risk groups:
- All patients aged 65 years and over
- Chronic respiratory disease aged six months or older
- Chronic heart disease aged six months or older
- Chronic kidney disease aged six months or older
- Chronic liver disease aged six months or older
- Chronic neurological disease
- Diabetes aged six months or older
- Immunosuppression
- Pregnant women
- Carers
