It’s Time for Your Annual Flu Vaccination
Monday, April 6th, 2009Yes it’s that time of year again … the time when the flu bug starts to cut a swathe through the community and if you want to avoid the flu this year then it’s time for your flu shot.
Of course there are a lot of myths about the flu shots that may be preventing you from having one. You’ll hear things like:
- You can catch the flu from the vaccination … you can’t!
- A good diet, vitamins and plenty of exercise will prevent you from catching the flu … they won’t!
- The flu vaccine is full of preservatives … it isn’t - it’s preservative free!
A dose of the flu can make you ill for a week or more and you’re contagious before you begin to feel any of the symptoms. Flu vaccination is both safe and effective and the vaccine will enhance your own natural immune system.
It’s recommended that everyone have a flu shot at this time of year … even very small children. So come in and talk to us today and find out just how easy it is to avoid catching the flu this year.
