Care workers are working with some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, so it’s important that they help protect themselves and those receiving care and support against flu
All care home staff (including catering and cleaning staff) and residents, domiciliary care workers and hospice workers in London are now entitled to a free flu jab at their local pharmacy

3. Free event: ‘Keeping your staff’ – achieving low turnover and a stable workforce
