Get your flu jab
If you’re eligible for the flu vaccine, don’t put it off, get it now.
Public Health England has announced that flu levels are continuing to rise and we are urging everyone entitled to a free flu jab to get it as soon as they can.
It is vital that those who are eligible have the flu vaccine annually as it protects against different strains of flu which evolve each year.
Anyone can get flu, however some groups of people are more likely to suffer a bad case of flu, and are therefore more likely to develop complications such as a chest infection.
You can get a free flu jab if you are:
- over 65
- have a long-term health condition - particularly chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease or those with a weakened immune system
- pregnant
- aged two to four (given via a nasal spray vaccination which is quick, effective and painless)
- a carer.
Flu is not the same as a cold. The symptoms tend to be more severe and can last longer. Symptoms can include high temperature, headache, aches and pains, tiredness and a sore throat.
Flu is also an unpleasant illness for children as they experience the same symptoms as adults. Children aged two to four can be protected quickly and effectively, without the need for injections, with a free nasal spray vaccination.
Those who catch the flu pass it on to an average of two people – putting those most vulnerable at an increased risk including those with long-term health conditions and pregnant women.
Other than vaccination, the best way to prevent the spread of flu is to have good hand and respiratory hygiene measures. It’s easy to remember – Catch it, Bin it, Kill it – carry tissues and use them to catch coughs or sneezes, then to bin the tissues and to kill the germs by washing our hands.
