Getting vaccinated is the most effective way of preventing infections. The HSE is urging all those eligible to get their winter vaccines ahead of Christmas to protect themselves, and their family and friends from the worst impacts of flu.

Over the festive period, try to make time to check in with more vulnerable family, friends and neighbours. If someone becomes ill, there are several options available for them, depending on the illness. Being prepared means that they will get treated in the right place at the right time.

Norovirus, a very common cause of gastroenteritis, is currently circulating at high levels in the community and these levels are likely to continue over the festive season.

Norovirus (often called the winter vomiting bug), causes vomiting and diarrhoea and is highly infectious, easily spread by close contact between people.

This seasonal surge in norovirus is coinciding with rising influenza cases, putting extra pressure on health and care services. We can all help by taking simple precautions:

🔵If you have respiratory symptoms, or vomiting or diarrhoea, do not visit hospitals, nursing homes, or vulnerable people at home.

🔵Avoid social visits to care settings while unwell.
