It’s Not Too Late to Get Your Flu Vaccination
Somerset Council is urging residents who are eligible to get their flu vaccination if they have not done so already. The best time for a flu jab is in autumn or early winter, before the virus begins to spread widely. This year, cases of flu are already being reported.
Flu is more serious than a common cold. It can increase the risk of severe lung and airway infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia, and worsen existing health conditions.
Health Advice from Somerset Council
“Protecting yourself means protecting others. With flu already circulating, now is the perfect time for those who are eligible. It’s quick, safe and helps stop the spread to those most at risk.”
The flu virus spreads easily and can sometimes lead to hospitalisation or even death. Because the virus constantly changes, annual vaccination is recommended.
Booking Your Vaccination
- The NHS usually informs eligible residents when they can book their flu jab.
- If you haven’t been contacted but believe you are eligible, contact your GP practice directly.
Getting vaccinated helps protect yourself and those around you, especially the most vulnerable.
Summary: Somerset Council emphasizes the importance of timely flu vaccination to prevent serious illness and protect the community during the current flu season.
