Get ahead of flu and influenza season this year and protect yourself and your tamariki (children) by getting a flu vaccination.

The flu can have serious consequences, especially for the elderly and those with certain medical conditions or a compromised immune system. With flu vaccine immunisation, you can reduce your risk of flu contraction and minimize the severity of symptoms if you do get sick.

Not only does getting a flu vaccination protect you during flu season, it also helps protect the broader community by reducing the spread of the virus. When more people are vaccinated against the flu, there are fewer opportunities for the virus to spread, which can help prevent outbreaks and keep everyone healthier.

Many people avoid getting a flu vaccination because they fear side effects or believe that the vaccine can give them the flu. However, these concerns are largely unfounded. The influenza vaccine is safe and effective, and any side effects are typically mild and short-lived. It is also impossible to get the flu from the flu vaccine, as it does not contain live virus.

Getting a flu shot is quick, easy, and convenient. By taking a little bit of time out of your day to get vaccinated, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you are protected against the flu.

Don't wait until it's too late - schedule your effective flu vaccinations today and protect yourself and your loved ones from this respiratory illness.
