Dr Altaf Hussain MS encourages eligible residents to get their flu jab this winter
Altaf, a retired NHS Surgeon and proud member of the Welsh health community, has received their flu vaccination and is encouraging everyone who is eligible to do the same this winter.
Speaking after receiving the jab, Altaf said:
“I’ve had my flu jab today — a simple but important step to help keep myself, my patients, and our wider community safe this winter. The flu vaccine is one of the best ways to protect against serious illness, reduce pressure on the NHS, and safeguard the most vulnerable among us.
"I've seen first-hand how flu can seriously affect people’s health, especially those with underlying conditions. Getting vaccinated not only protects you — it helps protect others, including those who can’t be vaccinated themselves. If you’re eligible, please take up the offer and get your flu jab as soon as possible.”
Flu can spread easily, particularly during the colder months. Vaccination remains one of the most effective tools in preventing outbreaks and reducing the burden on health services.
