Stay Well This Winter with Blaxland Day and Night Pharmacy
As the temperatures drop in the Blue Mountains, so too does our natural immunity. The colder months bring more than just cozy evenings by the fire—they also bring increased cases of colds, flu, RSV, and other respiratory illnesses that can seriously impact our health, our families, and our ability to keep up with work and life. At Blaxland Day and Night Pharmacy, we’re here to help you stay strong, protected, and supported all winter long.
Why Winter Hits Harder
During winter, people spend more time indoors and in close contact, which makes it easier for viruses to spread. The dry air can also dry out the protective mucous membranes in your nose and throat, making you more susceptible to infection. Plus, many of us experience a dip in vitamin D due to reduced sun exposure, which can further weaken the immune system.
Let’s Talk Prevention
We believe the best medicine is prevention. That’s why our team is committed to offering a full range of services to help you and your family stay healthy, safe, and supported this season.
Here’s how we’re helping our community this winter:
1. Winter Vaccinations – Now Available
Protect yourself and those around you by booking your flu shot or COVID booster with us. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent serious illness during winter.
Walk-ins welcome or book ahead online
Group bookings available for schools, workplaces & community groups
