Flu and Covid Vaccinations Offered to Eligible Residents

---

Local centres open around Christmas and through the New Year


Getting vaccinated is the best way to reduce the chances of getting ill over the holidays

December 19, 2023

As we enter the Winter months, we need to take care of our health and wellbeing. Vaccines are the best protection against flu and COVID-19.

Over the last few years, they have kept tens of thousands of people out of hospital and helped to save countless lives.

In winter, flu and COVID-19 spread more easily as we spend more time indoors. Getting these vaccines ahead of winter is one of the most important things you can do to keep yourself and others around you safe and ‘get winter strong’.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
