Probably a lot who cause the flu spike haven't had vaccinations. One group that falls way short if targets is NHS staff having them. This has been in plenty of differenr media arricles and sratistics on internet sites. Also the target percentages and percentages achieved for NHS, staff, over 65s and patient with medical conditions that are advised to have one are easily found on line.
This year states many G.P. not having one. a few years ago a formidable lady in her mid seventies with diabetes at thr duabetes nurserun clinic turnrd the tables on the general purpose practice nurse giving her ear ache about not having one. She kept going at her about wherher she had had a flu jab too, until the stroppy diabetic/practice nurse who was bossing her admitted she didn't have flu vaccinations because she never got flu. "Nor do I" was this ladies reply and not only refused to have one on that basis. She then told anyone who would listen that the practice nurse didn't have a flu vaccination so she wasn't having one either.
NHS trusts beg doctors and nurses to have flu jabs
