"Whilst numbers of infections continue to drop we are now in the traditional flu season and I encourage anyone invited to receive a swine flu jab to take up the offer.

"We are now vaccinating children aged from six months and up to five years. I strongly recommend parents and guardians of young children take up the invitation to have their children vaccinated as the benefit will last for several years during which time the H1N1 virus will still be in circulation.

"Anyone else who has been offered inoculation but not taken up the offer can still contact their GP surgery to arrange an appointment."
