Getting an influenza vaccine is still important

ABSTRACT

In the last 2 years, rates of influenza have been unseasonably low, as measures to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus have reduced the spread of many respiratory infections. The removal of domestic restrictions is leading to increased incidence of many respiratory infections and the threat of morbidity and mortality from influenza viruses remains. Practice nurses have a key role to play in ensuring their eligible practice population are protected by promoting high uptake of influenza vaccination.
