To help people in East Leicestershire and Rutland stay well this winter, the CCG has pulled together key information and advice from across the national 'Stay Well This Winter' campaign as well as local initiatives into one web-based hub.
The ELR CCG Winter Web Hub is at:
www.eastleicestershireandrutlandccg.nhs.uk/news/our-campaigns/stay-well-this-winter
Among the resources currently on the website is information about how you can protect you and your loved ones by getting the flu vaccination – the free nasal spray vaccine will be available to all primary school-age children and the free flu jab is being offered to those at risk, including; pregnant women, people aged 65 or over, people under 65 with long-term conditions and carers.
As well as the information about who is eligible for the flu vaccination and why it is important to get vaccinated, the CCG has also added links and information about the national campaign, NHS services available and when it is appropriate to use them and how you can look after yourself and your family, friends and neighbours this winter.
The CCG web hub will be continually updated throughout the coming months with information, breaking news, advice and campaign initiatives.
It also provides links to information from the national campaign.
