How to stay well in winter
Flu
Flu is caused by influenza viruses that infect the windpipe and lungs which are part of the respiratory system. Each year it kills on average 11,000 people and hospitalises thousands more. Getting the flu vaccine ensures the best protection for you and those around you. It’s available for free to those most at risk.
