Flu vaccinations save lives
The flu vaccination provides the best protection against the virus that infects many people and causes serious illness and deaths each year. There may be an increase in flu levels this winter following low levels in the last two years due to COVID-19 restrictions. Research shows that if you get both flu and COVID-19 at the same time, you are likely to be more seriously ill. Please take the flu vaccination if you are in the eligible list above.
