The North Central London Red Cell Community Service are offering vaccinations to sickle cell and thalassaemia patients, as NHS England have issued a "flu-jab SOS" as the worst of the winter season approaches. “It is vital that the public use the over 2.4 million available appointments we have running next week to stamp out this early wave of flu cases and help shield themselves ahead of winter,” said Chief Nursing Officer Duncan Burton. With flu season upcoming, take this opportunity to get vaccinated.
