As the chill of winter approaches, NHS Mid and South Essex is reaching out to the community for valuable feedback on winter preparation and flu vaccination. The survey aims to understand how local residents prepare for the colder months and their perceptions of the flu vaccine.
Why your opinion matters
Winter presents unique challenges, with colder weather, shorter days, and an increased risk of illnesses like the flu. The flu vaccination plays a crucial role in protecting individuals and the broader community from this potentially severe illness. Vaccination not only helps safeguard personal health but also reduces the risk of spreading the flu to vulnerable groups such as the elderly, young children, and those with underlying health conditions.
Our goal is to better support the local community during the winter season, and by gathering insights directly from residents, we can tailor our campaigns and services to meet the specific needs and concerns of the people we serve.
Survey focus areas
The survey invites residents to share their experiences and thoughts on a variety of topics, including:
- How you and your family prepare for winter
- The steps you take to stay healthy and safe during the colder months
- Your views on the flu vaccination and whether you plan to get vaccinated this year
- Any concerns or suggestions you have about NHS winter health and wellbeing campaigns
