answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2017 answer text <p>Encouraging take-up of the flu vaccination in people with chronic respiratory disease is primarily a matter for Public Health England (PHE). PHE, in partnership with NHS England, is currently running the national multi-channel campaign ‘Stay Well This Winter’, which encourages people who are most at-risk of preventable emergency admission to hospital to take actions to help them stay well, such as getting a flu vaccination and visiting a pharmacy at the first sign of a winter illness.</p><p> </p><p>Television adverts encourage people with long-term health conditions including breathlessness and lung disease to get the flu vaccine. The radio and social media advertising specifically target people with chronic lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, bronchitis and asthma. PHE also works with the British Lung Foundation and Asthma UK to help promote flu vaccine take-up to their supporters.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 17/11/2017 11:53:23 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2017 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) is responsible for monitoring public health vaccination programmes, including the influenza vaccine programme. It particularly monitors vaccine uptake, effectiveness and safety.</p><p> </p><p>Hospital admissions in persons with chronic respiratory disease are due to a wide range of causes, one of which can be flu. No study has been undertaken on the potential relationship between uptake of the flu vaccine in people with chronic respiratory disease and hospital admissions for people with chronic respiratory disease. However, PHE flu vaccine uptake monitoring has shown that the group 16-65 years of age with chronic respiratory disease had an uptake of 49.1% in 2016/17. There was an estimated flu vaccine effectiveness of 40.6% in this age-group against laboratory confirmed influenza, which would include individuals with chronic respiratory disease.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 17/11/2017 11:51:51 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
