Why you shouldn’t skip the flu jab!

The flu is more than just a heavy cold; it can lead to severe complications, particularly in vulnerable groups such as the elderly, young children, and people with underlying health conditions. The flu jab offers essential protection by lowering your risk of getting sick and helping reduce the spread of the virus in the community.
Unfortunately the flu virus changes each year, so even if you got vaccinated last year, you still need this year’s flu jab to be protected. Skipping your annual vaccination could leave you vulnerable to new strains and increase your chances of getting sick.

The last thing you want when getting into the autumn and winter seasons is to come down with the flu.

Protect Yourself and Those Around You

There’s more to this than just protecting yourself. By getting the flu jab you’re also helping to protect others in the community, especially the vulnerable.
The flu can spread rapidly, especially in public places such as schools, offices, and public transport. Even if you’re healthy and think you can handle the flu, it’s important to remember that you can still pass it on to others

If you care for someone with a reduced immune system or with older members of the community, it’s important to get the flu jab for their sake as well as your own.
