Lancashire and South Cumbria are also gearing up to begin its annual programme of flu vaccinations, which will be offered to more vulnerable groups first.
From mid-October 2022, people aged 50 to 64 years old that aren’t in a clinical risk group, will also be able to get their free flu vaccine. Carole McCann, Chief Nurse for the Lancashire and South Cumbria COVID-19 vaccination programme, said: We are envisaging a challenging winter, and anticipate seeing the continued spread of COVID-19 plus a resurgence in flu for the first time since the pandemic.
Bed capacity is being ramped up, there will be more 999 and NHS 111 staff, and the integrated care system will work to ensure patients can be discharged from hospital back to their own home or into the community with appropriate support as soon as it is clinically appropriate to do so.
