Protect Yourself for Winter 💪 Flu Vaccinations: 2025/6 💉
Flu is not just a cold. It’s a highly infectious disease with symptoms that come on very quickly.
The most common symptoms of flu are fever, chills, headache, aches and pains in the joints and muscles, and extreme tiredness. Healthy individuals usually recover within 2 to 7 days, but for some the disease can lead to hospitalisation, permanent disability or even death.
Flu vaccines help protect against the main types of flu virus circulating.
