Covid-19 cases are already slightly rising across Bradford district amid warnings of a winter ‘twindemic’.
Hotspots have started to appear across the district – at a time when NHS chiefs are urging people to get their flu and Covid jabs.
Covid restrictions over the past two winters means people have little natural immunity to battle the illnesses, UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said.
NHS England chief executive Amanda Pritchard said: “Winter comes hot on the heels of an extremely busy summer – and with the combined impact of flu, Covid and record NHS staff vacancies – in many ways, we are facing more than the threat of a ‘twindemic’ this year.”
She added: “Vaccines remain an important part of our defence this winter – everyone who is eligible has the power to protect themselves from both flu and Covid – so please do book in.”
