MP for Crossgates, Hill of Beath and Moss-side, Dpouglas Chapman, is encouraging Central Fifers to get the flu vaccine in time for winter.

He said: "I had my annual flu vaccine during Westminster Flu Day last week.

"If you have trouble with your heart, liver or kidneys, it may be harder for your body to fight the infection.

"Make sure you are up to date with your vaccines to help protect yourself against infectious diseases."

You can organise to get a flu jab by calling your GP surgery.
