The campaign aims for 30 million people in England to get the free flu vaccination, twice as many as were vaccinated last year, to relieve the NHS of additional pressures this winter.

The NHS says people at high risk from Covid-19 are also those most at risk from flu.

Ms Davies said: “As we approach the late autumn and winter season, I urge everyone to book a flu jab when offered, either through their GP or at a chemist.

“I myself had a flu jab at my local chemist last week, and I believe that in the current climate, there has never been a more critical time to look after one’s health and general wellbeing as much as possible.

“I am also very aware that through having a flu jab, we also protect those around us.”

Jagreet Singh, pharmacist at Selbys Pharmacy in Lindfield, said: “It has been wonderful to be able to have the opportunity to help again within the community by giving out flu vaccinations this year as well. This has included our well-respected local MP Mims Davies.”

Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Matt Hancock added: “This year more than ever, it’s vital that those eligible for the flu jab get it this winter, so you can protect yourself, your family and the NHS. We’re pulling out all the stops to prepare for this uniquely challenging winter and we have enough vaccines for 30 million people this year, more than we’ve ever done before.
