Flu vaccination is recommended by the Chief Medical Officer for Wales for all staff with patient contact.
Last year over 8,700 members of UHB staff chose to have the flu jab, to protect themselves, their patients and their family. Healthcare workers are 3 to 5 times more likely to get flu than people in other jobs.
Nearly 1 in 5 healthcare workers will get flu in an average season. You can pass on flu to vulnerable patients, your family, and colleagues even if you’re not symptomatic.
