A relatively painless jab is a small price to pay for reducing your chances of catching influenza (flu) this season.
In all the focus on coronavirus, medical experts are worried that some of us have forgotten to be vaccinated this year.
According to the experts… vaccination is the most important measure to prevent the flu and its potentially serious complications. It is recommended for all people aged six months and over. Flu vaccines are given each year to protect against the most common strains of the virus.
Community pharmacies across Gippsland offer convenient and accessible flu vaccination services, and pharmacists are trained to administer vaccines.
The flu is a highly contagious respiratory infection that can cause severe illness. However, vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect yourself and others from getting sick.
By getting vaccinated, you not only reduce your risk of serious illness but also help prevent the disease from spreading to vulnerable populations.
Flu vaccination in 2023 is particularly important as flu activity is expected to continue following a resurgence of the virus circulating in 2022.
