With Christmas just around the corner and everyone rushing about here and there to prepare for the holiday season, the simplest of things can often slip our minds. As the weather is now getting colder by the day, it is important to ensure that you are fully protected for the winter season.

As a pharmacist, I make sure to let my customers know of the importance of getting the flu vaccine every year as the winter months begin to set in. This vaccine is extremely beneficial for those who are over the age of 65 and pregnant women.

If you have yet to get the flu vaccine, don’t worry there is still plenty of time left. Pop into your local pharmacy today and make sure that you will be in tip top shape for the Christmas period.

If you have any questions about the flu or getting the flu shot, please don’t hesitate to ask.
