💉 Flu Season is Coming: Protect Yourself with a Flu Shot! 💉

The leaves are changing, and so is our focus – it’s time to think about flu season! At Fair Havens Pharmacy in Winnipeg, we’re urging everyone to get their flu shot to protect themselves, their loved ones, and our community.

Why Get a Flu Shot?

• Protection: The flu shot significantly reduces your risk of catching the flu and experiencing its unpleasant symptoms.
• Community Immunity: Getting vaccinated helps protect those around you who may be more vulnerable to serious complications from the flu, such as young children, seniors, and people with chronic health conditions.
• Reduced Severity: Even if you do get the flu after vaccination, your symptoms are likely to be milder and shorter in duration.
• Preventing Spread: By getting vaccinated, you help prevent the spread of the flu in our community.

Who Should Get a Flu Shot?

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends that everyone six months of age and older get a flu shot every year.

Get Your Flu Shot at Fair Havens Pharmacy!

• Please call us to arrange an appointment for your flu shot.
• Our friendly and knowledgeable pharmacist is here to answer your questions and provide a safe and comfortable vaccination experience.

Protect yourself and those you care about this flu season!

🎗️ August is Autoinflammatory Awareness Month 🎗️

At Fair Havens Pharmacy, we’re dedicated to raising awareness and supporting those affected by autoinflammatory diseases. These are a group of rare, chronic conditions characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation without the presence of infection or autoantibodies.

What are Autoinflammatory Diseases?

These conditions are caused by problems with the body’s innate immune system. Examples include:

• Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF)
• Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS)
• Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS)
• Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (MKD)/Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D Syndrome (HIDS)

Symptoms can vary, but may include:

• Recurrent fevers
• Skin rashes
• Joint pain
• Abdominal pain
• Eye inflammation

How Fair Havens Pharmacy Can Help:

• Medication Management: We can help you understand your medications, manage side effects, and ensure you have timely refills.
• Expert Advice: Our pharmacist can provide information about managing symptoms and improving your quality of life.
• Support & Resources: We can connect you with local and national organizations that provide support for individuals and families affected by autoinflammatory diseases.

Raising Awareness:

This August, let’s spread awareness about autoinflammatory diseases and support research efforts to improve diagnosis and treatment. Share this post and help us educate others!

If you or someone you know is living with an autoinflammatory condition, please know that you’re not alone. Fair Havens Pharmacy is here to support you.
