To back up the Doctor’s point about regular flu:

2018:
THIS year's flu season is shaping up to be one of the most serious we have seen with cases of the Aussie and Japanese flu sweeping across the country.

And with the spike in people becoming ill with the flu also comes a rise in the number of flu-related deaths, with pneumonia being one of the most deadly conditions caused by the bug.

Last week around 4,000 people were admitted to hospital with flu - up 51 per cent on the previous seven days, and almost four times higher than the same week last year.

People over the age of 65, young children, pregnant women and people with underlying health conditions like asthma and heart disease are the most at-risk in the community.


Each year about 30,000 people in the UK die from pneumonia, according to the British Lung Foundation.

But it can affect anyone at any age - last week the family of Bethany Walker, from Applecross in the Scottish Highlands, revealed the 18-year-old lost her life to flu after developing pneumonia.

On top of that, 44,000 people die from sepsis each year - a deadly condition that can be triggered by pneumonia.
