As flu season approaches, it’s crucial to protect ourselves and our communities by getting the flu jab. Acorn Surgery will be providing both Flu and COVID -19 vaccinations as part of our Autumn/Winter programme. Invitations have been sent to all eligible patients so please do book your arrival time by clicking on the link in your message, if you have not received an invite, but are eligible, please contact our team on 01480 483100.
Why Get the Flu Jab?
- Quick and Easy: Our dedicated flu clinic will take place on Saturday 4th October 2025.
- Yearly Protection: The flu virus changes each year, so getting vaccinated annually ensures you’re protected against the latest strains.
- Effective Protection: The flu vaccine helps reduce your risk of contracting the flu and can prevent severe symptoms if you do get sick.
- Milder Illness: If you do catch the flu after being vaccinated, symptoms are usually milder and the illness is shorter.
- Community Immunity: Vaccination helps protect vulnerable individuals, such as infants, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems.
- Reduced Healthcare Strain: Widespread vaccination helps ease the burden on our healthcare system, ensuring resources are available for those in need.
Let’s work together to stay healthy and keep our communities safe this flu season!
