Don’t say snow to flu jab

EARLY snow fell on Barnsley town centre yesterday as part of an NHS campaign to remind people to take steps to stay healthy over the winter months after less than half those eligible had free flu jabs last winter.

Elizabeth Shassere, director of public health for Barnsley, said: “Reminding people to be prepared now is vital because we know many don’t think about getting the flu vaccine until the virus is in circulation – but by then it could be too late.”
