Central Beds Council: Boost your immunity this winter
Date Added: 04/12/2022
Did you know that different strains of the flu circulate each year?
That’s why it’s so important for some people to keep up to date with their annual vaccination and to boost their immunity.
The annual flu vaccination programme has begun, and you could be eligible for a free flu vaccination.
Who is eligible?
There are certain groups of people who are eligible for a free vaccination, including:
• Pregnant women
• Children aged 2 – 3 years
• People with compromised immunity
• Those with a long-term health conditions
• People who are 65 and over
Those are just some of the people who are eligible for a free flu vaccination, check out the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Health and Care Partnership website to see if you or your family are too.
Why do we need the flu vaccine?
The flu can be life threatening to vulnerable people. Now we are spending more time indoors, it’s easy for us to pass the virus on without knowing. The best way to stay protected is by getting the vaccine and protecting each other.
How do I book?
Get in contact with your GP to book your appointment. Some local Pharmacies are also able to provide a flu vaccination.
