Levels of winter illnesses have risen in recent weeks
A pharmacist on the Island says there's been a significant increase in the uptake of flu vaccines this winter.
Nick Kaye from Kingsley Muti Pharmacy says it is due to the rise of infections across the UK in recent weeks.
Cases in England have hit record highs for this time of year, while, similarly, a rise in cases has been reported on the Island.
Mr Kaye says the virus does need to be taken seriously:
OPEL 4 for Noble's Hospital due to 'unprecedented level of demand’
Joanna Simpson's killer denied parole
Manx Care in 'good state of readiness' for TT
'Lessons need to be learned' from CEO role within Manx Care
