there has been a few things mentioned in the press but I think it tends to be a more local authority thing, with alot of doctor surgeries trying to get people in the risk groups and the >65's to get their flu jab. At the moment it has mainly affected children but I believe alot has to do with the mild December weather england seems to be enjoying,
That is my opinion

We never get much imput anymore on the general discussion boards about what is going on in rest of the world. I guess it is a draw back related to these specialty boards. I have looked up some articles on the London Times and BBC and see just a few about a flu outbreak in UK. It seems children are being infected in UK also. But it also seems that the news media is not as preoccupied with the outbreak in UK as it is in the US. I remember the flu outbreak of 1999-2000 the general boards were filled with information from nurses all over the world about how they were handling the flu outbreak in their countries. I miss that.
