It is 恐れるd many 潜在的に 本気で ill 患者s will have waited until after the four-day 週末 to see their doctor, 押し進めるing services to the lim it.

The swine flu 突発／発生 誘発するd a furious war of words last night as Health 大臣 Simon 燃やすs （刑事）被告 労働 of 偉業／利用するing the ウイルス for political ends.

He 拒絶するd （人命などを）奪う，主張するs by 影をつくる／尾行する Health 長官 John Healey that the 政府 had ‘cancelled’ a flu jab 計画（する） for under-fives to save money.

Mr 燃やすs 主張するd that 大臣s 支配するd out a 一面に覆う／毛布 ワクチン接種 programme for youngsters on 医療の grounds.

But as the ウイルス continued to sweep the country yesterday, an 専門家 警告するd that Britain is on the ‘cusp’ of an 疫病／流行性の.

Virologist professor John Oxford, from the University of London, said that because two-thirds of the 全住民 did not get swine flu during the last two 突発／発生s, they 危険 落ちるing 犠牲者 now.

Dr Jim Wardrope, former 大統領，／社長 of the College of 緊急 薬／医学, who 作品 at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, 警告するd today would be one of the busiest of the year for hospitals.

‘There is usually a 頂点（に達する） after bank holiday 週末s and this one has lasted four days,’ he said. ‘There is definitely extra 圧力 at the moment.

He explained that hospitals 普通は experience a 頂点（に達する） in referrals from GPs に引き続いて a bank holiday 週末 as many 患者s are 気が進まない to use out-of-hours services and would rather wait for a 決まりきった仕事 任命.

The influx comes as the 長，率いる of the 王室の College of GPs 勧めるd 攻撃を受けやすい 患者s to get the ワクチン まっただ中に 恐れるs that Britain is on th e brink of an 疫病／流行性の.

This year’s seasonal flu ワクチン 含む／封じ込めるs 保護 against H1N1 and two other 緊張するs of flu ウイルス, but uptake has been lower than 推定する／予想するd in ‘at 危険’ groups.

Around 45 per cent of those with underlying 医療の 条件s have had the jab.

?

Children under five are 現在／一般に 除外するd from having a 決まりきった仕事 jab as part of the NHS programme, although many were vaccinated as a one-off 手段 during the swine flu pandemic and will 保持する some 免疫 as a result.

独立した・無所属 医療の 助言者s to the 政府 yesterday 否定するd they had ever recommended 決まりきった仕事 seasonal jabs for young healthy children.

However, there have been 報告（する）／憶測s that parents trying to get 私的な jabs for their children have been turned away by High Street pharmacies and told to 接触する their GPs. Dr Gerada said GPs were prioritising 患者s so the most 攻撃を受けやすい were vaccinated first.

Children who were 適格の because of underlying health 条件s were の中で those, she 追加するd.

‘We want 患者s who need vaccinating because they’re at 危険 to come and see us, or 接触する the 外科 for an 任命,’ she said.

‘妊娠している women, the 年輩の and those with a 範囲 of health 条件s can get a jab.’

人物／姿／数字s 解放（する）d last Friday show the number of 患者s in 批判的な care ? most of whom have swine flu ? had more than 二塁打d in a week, from 182 to 460.?

In total, 27 have died of 確認するd flu since October, with 24 of those dying of swine flu. Only one of those 患者s whose ワクチン status was known had received a seasonal jab.
