COVID-19
Whether you need a COVID-19 vaccination, booster jab, or are seeking advice on managing symptoms, our team is here to provide expert care and guidance to help keep you and your family safe.
Understanding COVID-19
COVID-19 primarily affects the respiratory system, and mostly causes mild, cold-like symptoms. However, high-risk groups such as the elderly, those with pre-existing conditions, and pregnant women may face more serious health risks, such as long-COVID. As the virus continues to circulate, taking preventive measures such as getting vaccinated and following health guidelines is essential to staying protected and limiting its spread.
COVID-19 Vaccination
The COVID-19 vaccine is a key defence against severe illness and hospitalisation. At Fenix Healthcare Pharmacy, we offer COVID-19 vaccines to help protect you and those around you from the virus. Vaccines are available for adults, children, and those in high-risk categories, such as older adults, people with chronic conditions, and healthcare workers.
The vaccine stimulates your immune system to recognise and fight the virus, providing a high level of protection. Vaccination helps reduce the severity of symptoms if you do contract COVID-19 and limits the spread within the community, helping to protect vulnerable individuals who may not be able to get vaccinated themselves.
As new variants of COVID-19 emerge, receiving a booster shot is important for maintaining your immunity. Booster doses enhance your protection, especially if it has been several months since your initial vaccination. At Fenix Healthcare Pharmacy, we offer COVID-19 booster shots to ensure your immunity remains strong following the pandemic.
Treating COVID-19 Symptoms
If you contract COVID-19, symptoms can range from mild to severe. Common symptoms include fever, persistent cough, fatigue, muscle aches, and shortness of breath. For most people, the virus can be managed at home with rest and over-the-counter medications.
Our team can provide advice on managing symptoms, including using paracetamol or ibuprofen to reduce fever and body aches, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of rest. For higher-risk individuals, it is especially important to monitor symptoms closely. We can help advise if you have any concerns about your health.
Preventing COVID-19
In addition to vaccination, practising good hygiene and social distancing can help reduce your risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. Regular hand washing, wearing a face covering in crowded areas, and maintaining physical distance from others are effective preventive measures. If you feel unwell or suspect you may have been exposed to the virus, it’s important to get tested and self-isolate to prevent further spread.
