This week is World Immunisation Week, so we want to make sure you know the benefits of getting vaccinated, and how they help people of all ages live longer, healthier lives.
Vaccines reduce risks of getting a disease by working with your bodyβs natural defences to build protection. When you get a vaccine, your immune system responds. Immunisation currently prevents 3.5-5 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza, and measles. *
For more information on immunisation and for tailored advice to suit your needs, visit us instore this week and chat with our Pharmacist. π
