It’s not “just” the flu
This winter there’s not just the regular risk of the flu but coronavirus is still very active in the community. Flu symptoms usually cause mild illness in most people but there are some who are more likely to develop serious complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia, leading to around 11,000 people each year on average dying in England.
At Anna Pharmacy we offer flu jabs in store to anyone over the age of 12. If you’re someone who doesn’t pay for your flu jab, such as if you’re pregnant, work with immunocompromised individuals, over the age of 50, or have a medical condition, then your jab will be completely FREE funded by the NHS.
