As we continue our fight against Influenza please can you let the Occupational Health and Wellbeing team know if you have received your vaccine elsewhere? We are urging remaining staff to receive their influenza vaccination as soon as possible, in light of preparation for the potential upcoming Coronavirus vaccine.
