Our thanks go to flu vaccinator Jayne Woodhouse

Our thanks go to Jayne Woodhouse who is one of our top flu vaccinators.  Jayne says, 'Having had flu myself a number of years ago and passed it onto my son who was really poorly, I am first in the queue for the flu vaccination. 

I share my experience of having flu with staff which I hope has helped.  Where I work, we care for patients with long-term conditions and suppressed immunity systems and I have discussed the implications of passing flu onto vulnerable people. 

I am pleased to say that I have vaccinated a number of staff who have not taken up the vaccination before.  I've also vaccinated a small number of staff with needle phobia - I have also become quite skilled at vaccinating a moving arm!'
