THE SIMPLE FACTS ABOUT FLU

  • You cannot get flu from the vaccine – it does not contain any live virus. 
  • It doesn’t matter how fit or healthy you are – you are still at risk of getting the flu. 
  • ‘Natural Immunity’ is no guarantee – the flu virus is changing all the time. There is no guarantee that your body will have built up immunity to the coming strains of flu.
  • Vitamins don’t stop flu – it is not proven that vitamin C or echinacea reduce your risk of getting flu. Antibiotics do not work against viruses like influenza. 
  • Get vaccinated every year – the vaccine is a safe and effective way to reduce your risk of flu.
