As we are pretty much into autumn now and with many people being asked to attend for winter vaccinations for this week’s check in with Glasgow based Pharmacist Elizabeth Roddick it is all about flu and other regular vaccinations.
Elizabeth began by explaining to RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey about the difference between flu and the common cold and what your local Pharmacist would recommend for someone with flu symptoms. Â
Then to an outline of those patients who should get the flu vaccination every year, why we need a new flu vaccine every year and where to go to get your vaccination.
Ending with some advice about not going for your vaccinations if you are feeling unwell and whether it is fine to have both your flu vaccinations and your Covid boosters if you are eligible at the same time.Â
You will find information about booking a flu vaccination at your local Pharmacy on the following pages of the NHS website - https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/vaccination-and-booking-services/book-flu-vaccination/
