ALL Harlow residents aged over 65 and those with underlying health conditions or in care will get free flu vaccinations this winter.
Harlow MP Bill Rammell said the free jabs were part of a continued programme to put extra resources into the prevention of ill health.
'It is far better to spend money on keeping people well than seeing them have to go to hospital.
'In previous years, only people aged 75 and over got automatic free vaccination.
'This is another example of the Government bit by bit improving our NHS.'
