Making a point: chief nursing officer for England Chris Beasley is urging nurses to lead by example and immunise themselves against flu as part of the launch this month of the 2005 national flu immunisation campaign. According to the Department of Health, last year only 16 per cent of healthcare professionals were immunised, despite the fact that many worked with people deemed to be at high risk from flu related complications. Professor Beasley said: 'Those working in the nursing profession need to lead by example and get the flu jab early. By doing this we can help prevent an epidemic and protect those we care for day to day'.
