On Friday 9th October 2020, Pauline had her annual flu jab at her local Manor Pharmacy in Little Eaton. Pauline always likes to support local businesses whenever she can and having a local chemist just a couple of minutes’ walk from her home is really convenient.

Did you know that:

• 1 in 5 of the population get flu most years, and this includes healthy people
• Flu is one of the top 3 causes of sickness absence
• Flu is highly contagious, spreads rapidly and anyone can catch it
• The single most effective way to prevent flu spreading is to have the flu vaccination each year

Community pharmacies are a great place to be able to access many health related services without an appointment.
