Winter Flu Jabs ~ keeping those bugs away!

Today I went to get my winter flu jab. We think that it is so important to have the immunisation on offer and to provide all of the information available in order to assist in keeping our teams and people we support as healthy as possible.

I went to my local Boots today and had a consultation with the pharmacist, Vera, who was really helpful. Pharmacist are experts in medications and are brilliant at explaining exactly what you can expect from the immunisation. The area is private and you have time to ask questions. Vera explained about this year’s vaccine, asked me about any medication I am currently taking and went through all the relevant information to ensure that the service was suitable for me.

As it happens! It didn’t hurt a bit. I then waited in the pharmacy for a few minutes so that the pharmacist could ensure that there weren’t any adverse reactions. Then I was on my way. It is very quick and easy. I’d recommend everyone to at least consider the option. I’ve now got piece of mind that I’ve gone some way to protect myself from illness.
