SOUTH Lakes MP Tim Farron has encouraged people to ensure they get the flu jab to protect themselves against the harmful virus this winter.
All primary school pupils can have the vaccination free, as well as over-65s, pregnant women and those with existing illnesses.
Mr Farron said: "It is completely safe, will only take a few minutes and could ultimately save a life.”
