She continued saying that when "you get the flu and it hits you, it's not like anything else." "I had a very bad Covid and this was much much worse.

Vanessa Feltz after her 36-year-old daughter Allegra was hospitalised with flu, urged people to get vaccinated. She advised the people to get their vaccination saying it may “save your life”.

The television personality initially shared information about Allegra's failing health on Instagram where she said that Allegra had been "very unwell" and on a drip since November 17. “It’s influenza, it’s the flu bug that all the doctors warned us was probably coming this winter and she’s got a particularly virulent, horrible, horrible case of it – and guess what, she has been vaccinated,” she said.

Later, on Tuesday, the 60-year-old Vanessa Feltz shared an update on her daughter’s health. She spoke about Allegra's health on ITV’s This Morning where she described how Allegra became ill. Feltz stressed that her daughter was being sick a lot, leading them to think it was corona virus.

In order to increase awareness of the effects the flu may have on healthy individuals, Feltz told the tale of her daughter. She also advised others to be immunised if they haven't already. Since many individuals qualify for a free flu shot through the NHS, names have already been called. The vaccination is still available in most pharmacies for those who are ineligible, but they will have to pay.
