24/25 Winter Flu & Covid Vaccinations

With the continued circulation of Coronavirus and Flu, it is important to protect yourself. The flu and COVID-19 vaccinations are more important than ever to help you stay well over the winter months. They are both highly infectious viral infections. They come on very quickly and can cause multiple symptoms including fever, aching body, exhaustion, sore throat and headache. Getting a flu and Covid jabs is the single most effective step you can take to protect yourself, and others, this winter.

Book a private Pneumonia Vaccination
Now that you have had your NHS flu vaccination, you can save time and receive a private pneumonia vaccination too. Nearly 270,000 hospital admissions each year in England are due to pneumonia, and around 1 in 4 cases occur in adults under 65.* Pneumonia is an infection that can cause serious illness and even death. It affects around one in 100 adults in the UK each year** and is most common in autumn and winter.

Am I at risk?
Pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death due to infection in men and women. It can increase the risk of having a heart attack, as well as worsening existing heart failure. Pneumonia can affect anyone, but some people are more at risk of catching it. Risk factors include:

• Increasing age – the risk is greater in older adults

• Smoking – not only is the risk of catching pneumonia greater, but it can be more serious in people who smoke

• Other health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease or respiratory diseases, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

• A weakened immune system
