Flu Vaccination

Flu Vaccine in Dermacia's Islington Pharmacy

The flu virus is a seasonal infectious illness spread by coughs and sneezes, often more active in winter. People with low immunity, in poor health and the elderly are particularly at risk of catching the flu and may get the flu in more than one season. This can be physically draining and affect your daily activities and ability to work as well as exacerbate some pre-existing health conditions such as asthma or bronchitis as well as more severe conditions such as cancer. Getting the flu injection will protect you from the virus and complications from flu such as lung infections, pneumonia and meningitis.
