Eligible people in the South West are being urged get vaccinated against flu and Covid.
UKHSA South West deputy director professor Dominic Mellon said it was vital to be inoculated against both Covid and flu to reduce the risk of being admitted to hospital."The jabs are there to protect you and the rest of your family from a potentially very serious illness this winter and so I urge all those eligible in the South West to come forward and have their jabs when offered."
NHS vaccinations and screening director Steve Russell added: "This winter could be the first time we see the effects of the so called 'twindemic' with both Covid and flu in full circulation. "If you have been offered a flu vaccination or Covid booster you should book in as soon as possible and with more vaccination centres than ever before this year, they are quick, convenient and will provide vital protection this winter."
