Flu Immunisation Cannon Hill: Keep Yourself and Your Loved Ones Safe This Flu Season

Did you know that the flu is contagious 24 hours before symptoms start showing, which means you can spread it before you even know you’re sick?

When it comes to protecting your health, prevention is the key, and it begins with getting your yearly flu vaccination. At Cannon Hill Doctors, we make flu immunisation easy, accessible, and hassle-free for you and your family in the Cannon Hill region.

Influenza, or flu, is a highly contagious virus that can lead to severe illness, particularly in young children, older people, and those with chronic medical conditions. Getting an annual flu vaccination is your best defence against infection. It helps reduce the spread of the virus within the community. If you’re looking for reliable flu immunisation in Cannon Hill, our experienced team is at your service.

Why Get the Flu Shot?

Even for healthy people, the flu can cause serious symptoms that result in loss of working days, hospitalisation, or life-threatening complications. Annual flu vaccination reduces hospitalisation across all age groups. It not only protects you but also safeguard others who may be at risk, such as babies, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems.

The strains of the influenza virus vary from year to year. This is why the flu vaccine is revised every year to guard against the most prevalent circulating strains. At Cannon Hill Doctors, we provide the latest flu vaccines according to national health recommendations.
