THOUSANDS of frontline staff working at Oxfordshire's hospitals have been vaccinated as part of an annual staff flu programme.

The 2016 flu vaccine was made available through more than 100 temporary clinics available on sites run by Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, including the John Radcliffe, Churchill and Horton General Hospitals, on September 19.

In the first three weeks a total of 4,293 employees received the flu jab and others working at OUH are still being encouraged to do the same.
