Flu Vaccination

The flu vaccine is your best defence against the flu. Since flu viruses change each year, it’s important to get vaccinated annually to ensure you’re protected against the latest strains.

Getting vaccinated is particularly important for those in high-risk groups, including adults aged 65 and over, children aged 2 to 8, pregnant women, and people with chronic health conditions.

In addition, healthcare and frontline workers can reduce the risk of spreading the virus to vulnerable individuals.

Even if you aren’t considered high risk, anyone wanting to avoid the flu and its complications can get the flu jab.

Flu Treatment

Recognising your flu symptoms is the essential first step to treating it.

Symptoms include fever, cough, body aches, fatigue, and a runny nose. In some cases, vomiting and diarrhoea may occur, particularly in children.

If you do catch the flu, our team at Fenix Healthcare Pharmacy is ready to support you with treatment options. We can help manage your symptoms, provide antiviral medication when necessary, and offer practical guidance on home care and recovery. We can also advise if your symptoms worsen.

Preventing the Flu

Simple habits such as frequent hand washing, avoiding touching your face, and covering your mouth when coughing can reduce the risk of catching or spreading the flu.

Of course, the best weapon is prevention. As such we would always advocate for flu vaccination if it is suitable for you.

This is why we offer convenient appointment scheduling, experienced healthcare professionals, and personalised flu care, ensuring you receive the protection and treatment you need this flu season.

Book Your Flu Jab

Getting the flu jab reduces the chance of contracting the virus, helps prevent complications, such as pneumonia, and protects those around you through herd immunity.
