Swine Flu Update

 The JCVI have advised that vaccinations should continue through the summer for:

  • those over 6 months old in at risk groups;
  • pregnant women; and
  • frontline health and social care workers

because they are at particular risk from infection or could expose patients to infection.

The JCVI considered that there is no justification to extend the programme to other healthy age groups of the population including main carers of the elderly and disabled.
