But flu admissions 'continue to be very high' so it 'remains 決定的な' that anyone 適格の ― 含むing 妊娠している women and children 老年の two and three?― who have not had their flu jab 調書をとる／予約する one as soon as possible.

UKHSA 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある Dame Jenny Harries said there had been a '劇の 増加する' in the number of flu admissions before Christmas, but they have started to 落ちる in 最近の days.
