Thousands in Brighton and Hove urged to take up free flu jab offer

Health chiefs have urged thousands of people to take up the offer of a free flu jab.

GPs across Brighton and Hove said Brighton and Hove was one of the hotspots for the virus breaking out.

They urged the 11,000 people in the city eligible for a free jag to call their doctor immediately.

It comes as health chefs said more then a dozen people in the city were hospitalised from the virus in the last year.
