<p>The number of people in critical care with confirmed or suspected flu in England has risen to 738.</p>
<p>Statistics released by the Department of Health (DH) last Friday showed that 460 people were receiving intensive treatment for flu.</p>
<p>There are now 738 patients receiving the same level of care including 42 youngsters under five, the DH has revealed.</p>
<p>On Thursday Government advisers urged the vulnerable to be vaccinated against the virus.</p>
<p>The advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) came as figures revealed the winter&#8217;s growing death toll &#8211; 39 people have died from the virus since October.</p>
<p>The Health Protection Agency confirmed 12 more flu deaths this week and the Government announced it was relaunching the &#8220;Catch it, Bin it, Kill it&#8221; campaign, telling people to catch their sneezes and coughs and wash their hands.</p>
<p>The Department of Health will launch its national flu vaccination campaign on Saturday.</p>
<p>The move comes after Health Secretary Andrew Lansley defended the Government&#8217;s initial decision not to run the campaign earlier this week.</p>
<p>Labour accused Mr Lansley of a U-turn after the decision to reinstate the campaign was announced.</p>
