As we move into Autumn, it is time consider health matters and to be prepared for Winter. Annual influenza outbreaks are expected. Living in the Southern Hemisphere we take the experience of the preceeding winter in the Northern Hemisphere and extrapolate what could be our possible expectation for this winter. So here is what is to be expected:

1. Influenza started 4 weeks earlier than usual in Europe and the USA.
2. The first 8 weeks of the season experienced VERY high influenza activity.
3. The season did see the highest numbers of admissions to hospitals since the COVID-19 pandemic!
4. The main culprit was the dominant Influenza A (H3N2 ) virus.
5. RSV and COVID-19 as well as Influenza A (H1N1) were also detected.

In an attempt to remain healthy this winter, or to minimise illness we strongly advise vaccinating against Influenza this season.

Vaccines were released this week and these vaccines cover the Influenza A H3N2 as well as the Influenza A H1N1 strain ( the old 'Swine flu' strain).

The Flu Vaccine is recommended for :
1. All over the age of 65 yrs.
2. Patients with chronic conditions especially cardio/pulmonary disease.
3. Pregnant women on recommendation from your Obstetrician.
4. Children over the age of 6 months. Dose adjusted according to weight.

Please give this recommendation consideration as the suggestions are that we are heading into a possible tougher winter flu season than in years gone by.

Influvac Subunit 2026 vaccines are available at INTERCARE BEDFORDVIEW. CALL 101 158 0000 to book with our NURSES who will administer the vaccine.

To all, have a peaceful Easter weekend, Peisach and holiday season.
Thank you all for your amazing support.

To all Patients and Colleagues

As the year comes to a close, I want to thank our patients, our amazing doctors and dentists, and especially Sia, our practice manager, along with our dedicated staff. Your contributions make Intercare Bedfordview the remarkable success that it is today.

Please take a moment to read the letter below. While it is mainly for our Discovery Medical Aid patients, who make up 66% of our patients, it contains information useful to everyone.

The letter explains how Discovery members can easily access their benefits, make the most of the many available services that they qualify for, and potentially save on costs. As a fully participating Discovery partner, Intercare Bedfordview is here to guide all clients, ensuring they receive maximum value from their medical aid contributions.

Feel free to leave comment or share this post with family and friends. Make the most of your costly health care benefits and a little planning in this regard for 2026 will go a long way.

Message from Intercare Bedfordview

A pap smear might only take a few minutes, but it could save your life. Regular screenings can detect cervical changes before they become cancer. It’s recommended every 3 years (or as your provider advises).If you’ve been putting it off, this is your gentle reminder: You’re worth it.
