Roll-out of winter flu jab
THE seasonal flu jab campaign was launched yesterday by health secretary Nicola Sturgeon.
GP practices will now start holding flu clinics with free vaccinations for over-65s, healthcare staff and those with certain medical conditions , including breathing problems, heart conditions and diabetes.
A separate vaccination drive for swine flu will get under way in the coming weeks.
The seasonal flu jab will not provide protection against swine flu.
