GP appointments have increased by 24% in the last week according to Public Health England (PHE)<\/a> with many patients complaining about the flu. <\/p>\n

It is said that children branded as \u2018super spreaders\u2019 are the cause of this dramatic increase in appointments. <\/p>\n

Warrington GP, Dr Ash Singh, has been practicing medicine for 18 years. He is currently at Stockton Heath Medical Centre<\/a> and agrees with the NHS call for immunisation jabs. <\/p>\n

Dr Ash Singh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He said: \u201cChildren are the super spreaders unfortunately because their immunity is a bit diminished and it goes to one child to the next child very quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you immunise the kids as well as the adults it will reduce the spread resulting in the virus stopping and is not able to spread itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UK is experiencing a rise in flu this year a lot earlier than expected, with less than one third of two and three-year-olds having had their jab. <\/p>\n

NHS national medical director, Stephen Powis, is urging the 25 million Britons available for the free immunisation vaccination to ‘get your jab now’.<\/p>\n

The PHE winter campaign \u2018Catch It, Bin It, Kill It\u2019<\/a> is aiming to reduce the spread of flu with advice and Dr Ash Singh gives his own advice.<\/p>\n

Dr Singh said: \u201cPeople should keep themselves indoors when they have the flu because they book an appointment with the GP and they spread it further, making it worse for everyone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you cough or sneeze those droplets are spread to another person, they inhale it and that\u2019s how they get the infection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Singh reminded people that the vaccination does not cure flu and people still need to look after themselves. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe vaccination will only protect you against the three or four most common viruses, whilst there are hundreds of others going around,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
