Asthmatics are being urged to make sure they get the flu vaccination this year.

That comes amid fears that those with asthma have not been exposed to many of the usual winter flu or viral illnesses in the past two years and are more vulnerable.

One of those concerned is Dr Bryan Betty, who's the Medical Director of the Royal College of General Practitioners. He talks to Jesse about what his main concern is for this winter.
