Real talk with Bridget Totterman Your shot at helping to avoid the flu Most of us have experienced the dreaded flu before - symptoms including fever, cough, fatigue, muscle and body aches can knock even the healthiest of people around, and in severe cases may require hospitalisation. The flu is very contagious – spreading quickly from person to person. I've seen first-hand how severe it can be at this time of year, particularly to those who are vulnerable or at higher risk of complications. One of the most common questions we are asked as pharmacists is why get a flu vaccination, if you can still catch the flu? TO HELP STAY HEALTHY THIS WINTER Here's why you should consider it: • flu vaccination prevents illness in up to 6 out of 10 healthy adults under 65* • There is no live virus in the flu vaccination, so you cannot get the flu from being vaccinated* • As the virus is constantly changing, a yearly vaccination helps protect against the most recent and common circulating strains^ • A person's immune protection from the influenza vaccination declines over time, so annual vaccinations are recommended* 1. Maintain hand hygiene, using hand sanitisers when soap and water are unavailable 2. Get vaccinated - the flu is highly contagious and the strain evolves constantly, so a vaccination is your best shot at helping to avoid the flu this season 3 Avoid toudching your face, as viruses spread easily from hands to nose, mouth and eyes Getting vaccinated is believed to reduce the severity of flu symptoms if you do catch it* 4. Disinfect common surfaces (e.g. doorknobs and handles) regularly Help strengthen your immune system by eating healthily, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep Not many of us have the time to get sick, but we do have the opportunity to help protect 5. ourselves, our families and loved ones wit a flu vaccination.
