Time for the Flu Vaccination
24/09/2019
Flu occurs every year, usually in the winter, which is why it’s sometimes called seasonal flu. It’s a highly infectious disease with symptoms that come on very quickly. Colds are much less serious and usually start gradually with a stuffy or runny nose and a sore throat. A bad bout of flu can be much worse than a heavy cold.
Flu vaccines help protect against the main types of flu virus circulating.
For more information on the flu vaccine for this winter, please see the attached document (available via the link below).
