And with lower immunity due to lockdowns, offices and schools returning, and no more Covid restrictions, it is thought the NHS could quickly become strained as the service must also deal with Covid patients.

The Department of Health has launched a winter vaccines campaign including a video featuring TV medics Dr Dawn Harper and Dr Amir Khan, who warned: “Both viruses have the potential to cause serious illness and hospitalisation this winter.” However, scientists don’t know how well the flu vaccines will work this year – they usually base them on strains circulating in Australia’s winter but there haven’t been any major outbreaks.

Maybe the gov should’ve thought about that before being dictators x. People were saying stuff like how general health matters & got attacked.

More bloody doom n gloom from Van Tam. Does he ever have any good news. He is like the merchant of death.

Not COVID it’s the flu how many will die from other health problems? This country has COVID and flu on the brain

64,000 in 2018 - get yr facts tight!! 🤬

😂🤣 got to get the excuses in early! Can’t have people blaming the jabs now can we?

So 140k deaths in nearly 2 years of Covid but 60 deaths in just one winter from Flu, that makes Flu more deadly 😳😳😳😳😳

Another flu death

Who did the forecast, Ferguson? Utter nonsense.

Vaxxed people will die of the flu this year 🤷‍♀️

Same as January 2018. Same number probably hidden in last years covid numbers.

We have had 137k deaths in 18 months from coronavirus pandemic resulting unprecedented restrictions. This flu death prediction is as bad as covid so will there be lockdowns etc? I just don't buy it!!!!

Well it’s gotta make up for taking last year off
