EMAIL BODY:PLEASE INSERT IMAGE FROM TOOLKITDear INSERT, ?Extremely cold weather is on the way, which is more than just an inconvenience…it can really affect your health. To ensure you stay well this winter, remember to get your flu jab particularly if you have a long-term condition or are pregnant, because you really need it!Should I get the flu jab? Flu is a highly infectious illness which spreads rapidly, even people with mild or no symptoms can infect others. If you have a long-term health condition, you’re at greater risk of suffering from flu because you’re more vulnerable to the effects and more likely to develop potentially serious complications that could even require hospital treatment. Protect yourself and your loved ones against the flu by getting your flu jab. How often should I get the flu jab? Viruses that cause flu can change each year, so it’s recommended that you have a flu vaccine each year. Yearly flu vaccines are the only way to ensure you’re continually protected, so new vaccinations are made annually to fight those particular strains. Will it cost me anything? If you have a long-term condition or are pregnant, the vaccine is FREE. Where can I get it? Simply visit your local pharmacist for your flu vaccine. Alternatively, contact your GP and book an appointment. Still not sure? Visit the NHS website for more information on the flu vaccine and a summary of its effectiveness. Sincerely, ?(signature)(name (clinical lead in CCG))(Job title) ................
