🎙️ IT’S A WRAP!
A powerful new podcast campaign exploring winter flu vaccination is coming soon.
With less than 37% of Manchester’s general population taking up the flu vaccine, and uptake among South Asian communities below 35% - we felt there was a conversation that needed to happen.
So, we’re calling it “GIFT OF THE JAB.”
This series brings together the heartbeat of Manchester’s health community — public health leaders, GPs, doctors, influencers, community champions and people with lived experience of vaccination — all sharing their voices, experiences and stories to help inspire informed choices and protect our communities this winter.
A massive thank you to our incredible guests:
Dr Waqas Ahmed, Rafia Batool – ALLFM 96.9, Ifraz Sharif – Manager, Guidance Hub Cheetham Hill, Dr Sobia Kashif – GP Partner, Conran Medical Centre, Naz Khan – CEO, BikeIt, Dr Syed Naqvi – PCN GP Neighbourhood Lead
🎙️ Anchored by Maleehah Rehman

This isn’t just about vaccines. It’s about trust, conversations, community and giving people the facts they need to make informed decisions.
