Improving Community Health
Getting your flu jab doesn’t just help protect you. It also helps protect the people around you.
By reducing the spread of seasonal influenza, flu vaccinations help safeguard those who are more vulnerable to serious illness, including older adults, young children and people with certain health conditions. The more people who are vaccinated, the harder it is for the virus to spread through the community.
Choosing to have your flu jab also helps reduce illness-related absences from work, school and everyday activities, helping to keep our local community healthier throughout the flu season.
Together, we can all play a part in protecting ourselves and those around us.
