If you are pregnant, here's a reminder that Paracetamol is the safest & effective pain relief available over the counter. As with all medications taken during pregnancy, stick to the recommended dose only for the duration your symptoms. If symptoms like pain or fever persist beyond a few days, consult with your Midwife or Doctor. Please listen to advice from your trusted health professionals instead of international politicians.

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatories (NSAIDS) like Ibuprofen (Nurofen), Diclofenac (Voltaren), Celebrex (Celecoxib) and Naproxen (Sonaflam) should be avoided in all trimesters.

Flu and Covid Vaccinations are still available if you havent had one this winter yet. Free with Eligible Criteria.

You love a Labubu, but no one wants a Lafluflu!

Both might be viral, but only one is cute. Here’s how to help keep the flu at bay this season:

Wash your hands often with soap and water (sanitiser works in a pinch).
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue - or your elbow - when you cough or sneeze.
Clean high-touch surfaces regularly and crack open a window now and then for fresh air.
Eat well, move your body, and get plenty of sleep - your immune system will thank you.
Feeling unwell? Stay home if you can, to help stop the spread. (We know it’s not always easy.)
