LONDON， Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- The biggest ever flu vaccine program for children in England was announced Wednesday.
Public Health England (PHE) is to extend its annual flu program to include children in year 3， helping to protect millions of people most at risk.
To coincide with the extended program PHE and NHS England are mounting a major campaign to help children and the vulnerable stay well over the winter months.
PHE said the Stay Well This Winter campaign launches Wednesday with the biggest ever flu vaccination program in England for children. This year the program is being extended to those in school year 3， offering more than 4 million children protection against flu， around 600，000 more than last year.
As well as offering protection to children aged 2 to 7 years， PHE say it will help reduce the spread of flu to the most vulnerable in the community， particularly younger children， the elderly and those with long-term conditions.
Building on the success of last year， children aged 2， 3 and 4 can now get the vaccination from their GP. The school vaccination program gets underway later this week， with parents of younger children in primary schools， asked permission for their child to get the free nasal spray vaccination at school. The program will be extended gradually to older age groups in primary school in future years.
A PHE spokesman said: "Children are most likely to spread flu to others， so targeting them helps protect the wider community too."
Chief Medical Officer， Professor Dame Sally Davies， said: "Flu can be much more dangerous for children than many parents realise， and when children get flu， they tend to spread it around the whole family."
For factory owners in Guangdong province Homme Air Max 97 OG GS Blanche Pas Cher , China's manufacturing hub, the latest attempt by authorities to address labor rights is nothing new. Since the Labor Contract Law took effect in 2008, giving workers a say in collective bargaining has been building. This time, however, it looks quite real.
"Workers already have a lot of welfare. I don't understand why Guangdong province has to implement the new labor regulation. This is very unfair to us manufacturers," said Edward Tsui Ping-kwong Homme Air Max 97 OG GS Noir Acheter , vice-president of the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong. Tsui's company, Shing Hing Industrial Ltd, produces a spectrum of screws, and targets automobile and aviation industries as major customers.
The labor regulation he referred to is the Guangdong Province Collective Contract Ordinance. Its latest draft was presented to provincial lawmakers - the Guangdong People's Congress Standing Committee - in mid-April. On April 23, the committee decided to carry out a second review by the end of May.
The ordinance, expected to go through the local legislature this year Homme Air Max 97 Ultra Noir Soldes , highlights collective bargaining rules empowering factory workers in negotiations over payment, holidays, extra insurance, training, layoff plans and other key issues. The draft indicates that when a proposal is agreed to by more than one-third of the staff, the labor union would be responsible for initiating negotiations with the company. Negotiations and relevant preparations should be counted as working hours and paid to labor representatives.
While both parties can initiate negotiations Homme Air Max 97 KPU Noir Pas Cher , both also should respond to each other within 20 days. Companies are not allowed to fire workers who stage strikes because employers failed to meet the deadline or refuse to talk for no reason.
On April 14, many workers at Yue Yuen Industrial (Holdings) Ltd factories, a Taiwanese shoemaker operated by Pou Chen Group, put down their pliers and glue, and raised banners and placards after learning that the company had failed to fully pay their social benefits for as long as a decade.
The factories make sports shoes for more than 20 international brands, including Nike Boutique Homme Air Max 2017.8 KPU TPU Noir , Adidas, Reebok and Timberland. On April 21, another 2,000 workers at the company's factory in Jiangxi province in eastern China echoed their peers in the south.
After local authorities intervened, most of the workers had returned to the assembly line by April 25, but not before the shoemaker reported a loss of $58 million.
Earlier this year Homme Nike Air Max Flair 2017 Rouge Noir Pas Cher , 1,000 workers at an IBM Corp factory in Shenzhen, Guangdong, demonstrated for higher pay when the factory was about to be handed over to Lenovo Group Ltd, a Chinese PC producer. Half of the workers reportedly walked out after IBM sacked 20 demonstrators.
Regarding the new labor regulation, Tsui of the manufacturers association said concern has spread among Hong Kong manufacturers that endless negotiations and sabotage may be their lot.
"If it's rising labor costs or the appreciation of the yuan 2017 Nike Air Max Flair Blanche En ligne , we can offset those influences by adjusting operations," Tsui said. "However, the impact of the new rule will be profound, because it will interrupt decision-making. As employers, we could lose the helm of our firms to labor unions. We could end up with orders and workers, and yet fail to deliver. What's more Acheter 2017 Homme Nike Air Max Flair Noir Grise , in the face of massive demonstrations, the government always sacrifices manufacturers' interests to ease tension.
"The new regulation, if it takes effect, will hit our confidence hard in Guangdong," Tsui said. "It may be the last straw for the factories already dragged down by heavy debt burdens and spoil the appetite for further investment."
He added that "two-thirds of factories in Dongguan have left - either shut down or moved. The situation in Shenzhen is even worse. I'm afraid that when the new rules take off, more will be on their way."
