Sir Jonathan Michael, chief executive of Oxford University Hospitals Trust, is launching this flu season’s vaccination campaign by getting the jab himself.
Sir Jonathan will be getting vaccinated at the John Radcliffe Hospital at 2pm on Thursday. The annual campaign began on September 30, and by the end of the first week more than 2,000 OUH staff had received the vaccination.
In 2008, fewer than 10 per cent of staff in the Oxford hospitals had a flu vaccination but last year this rose to more than 58 per cent.
