FLU CLINICS 2019
ARE YOU AT RISK FROM THE EFFECTS OF SEASONAL FLU?
Some people are more susceptible to the effects of seasonal flu. For them it can increase the risk of developing more serious illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia, or can make existing conditions worse. In the worst cases, seasonal flu can result in a stay in hospital, or even death.
*** PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT VACCINES AVAILABLE SO THAT THOSE AGED OVER 65 WILL RECEIVE A DIFFERENT VACCINE FROM THOSE AGED UNDER 65 ***
Even if you feel healthy, we strongly advise you to have the seasonal flu vaccination if you have:
- a heart problem, kidney disease or liver disease
- a chest complaint or breathing difficulties, including bronchitis or COPD (emphysema)
- diabetes
- lowered immunity due to disease or treatment (such as steroid medication or cancer treatment)
- had a stroke or a transient ischaemic attack (TIA)
- a neurological condition, for example multiple sclerosis (MS) or cerebral palsy
- a problem with your spleen, for example sickle cell disease, or you have had your spleen removed
