How to Stay Healthy During Flu Season

15 / Sep

Flu season can be a challenging time, but with the right precautions, you can significantly reduce your chances of getting sick. At Bramley Pharmacy, we’re committed to keeping our community healthy by offering NHS and private flu vaccinations and expert advice.

Here are a few tips to help you stay healthy this flu season:

1. Get vaccinated: The most effective way to protect yourself from the flu is to get vaccinated. At Bramley Pharmacy, you can book your private flu jab starting from 16th September 2024 for just £15.99, or opt for the NHS flu vaccination from 3rd October 2024 if you’re eligible.

2. Practise good hygiene: Washing your hands frequently with soap and water, using hand sanitiser, and avoiding touching your face can help prevent the spread of germs.

3. Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet: A well-hydrated body and a diet rich in vitamins and nutrients help keep your immune system strong, making it easier to fight off infections.

4. Get enough rest: Sleep is crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to keep your body functioning at its best.

5. Avoid close contact with those who are unwell: If someone around you is showing flu-like symptoms, try to avoid close contact, as the flu is highly contagious.

Flu season doesn’t have to mean illness for you and your family. Book your flu vaccination to stay healthy throughout the season.
