Health Protection Nurse, Emma Baker, said: “Due to the rise in flu cases that we have seen
both locally and nationally, I encourage eligible Islanders to come along to our pop-ups for
vaccination. It’s quick and easy and remains the best defence against flu and COVID-19.
"While most people who get flu or COVID will have a mild illness, those in older age groups
and with certain health conditions are at a higher risk of developing serious illness and
being hospitalised.
"Vaccination not only reduces your chances of the viruses, but it also
makes any infection less unpleasant and reduces your infectability which means you
won’t pass on the viruses at the same rate as you may do if you were unvaccinated.”
