Flu Season is Approaching - Book Your Flu Vaccination Today
Influenza is a highly contagious viral condition that can produce severe and possibly life threatening complications in 'at risk' individuals. Influenza, unlike the common cold, can cause debilitating symptoms which can linger on for several weeks and may leave you feeling ill and unable to attend work.
Are you at risk of influenza complications?
- Do you have diabetes, kidney problems, heart problems or breathing problems?
- Are you pregnant?
- Do you have a medical condition that requires regular review by a doctor?
- Has your immunity been suppressed through illness or medication?
- Are you a health care worker?
- Are you over 65 years of age?
- Are you an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person aged over 50?
Annual vaccination is the single most effective measure to help prevent influenza.
