Launch for flu shot drive

A CAMPAIGN to protect vulnerable people and carers against seasonal flu has been launched.

Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon unveiled the annual flu vaccination appeal, which also includes the over-65s, pregnant women and unpaid carers.

Ms Sturgeon said: "For those at risk, the complications of seasonal flu can be deadly. The best way to protect yourself is to get the jab.

"If you know someone who is at risk please encourage them to come forward for vaccination to protect themselves and those they care about."
