UK Pharmacies are running out of the influenza flu vaccine amid fears of an epidemic.
Public Health England say there have been 93 flu-related deaths so far this winter. They include an 18-year-old girl from Scotland.
Experts are worried about a particular strain of the virus.
The H3N2 strain caused a high number of deaths in Australia in 2017. It’s thought this particular virus has caused a number of deaths in Ireland.
Instances of the flu are always worse during the winter.
On its website, Public Health England says: “Practising good hand hygiene and giving eligible people the flu vaccine is the best defence against the virus.”
