Autumn Booster Leaflet
Our leaflet provides an A5 handout for your service users and outlines the details of the Autumn Booster campaign.
During the coming winter, the NHS is concerned about the spread of flu as well as COVID-19 and we have vaccines for both of these dangerous viruses. Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent infectious diseases as they teach our immune system how to recognise and fight viruses.
We are all aware of the dangers of COVID-19 but we must not forget that flu is also a dangerous virus that kills thousands of people a year and complications from flu can include pneumonia, inflammation of the heart, brain or muscle tissues, as well as multi-organ failure.
Being vaccinated against both viruses will not only help you to protect yourself and those around you from flu and COVID-19, but will help protect everyone from a potentially devastating double threat this winter.
This year Age UK London continues the "Now More Than Ever" campaign, a focused promotion of the flu and COVID-19 vaccine across London. The campaign will place additional focus on targeting older Londoners from BAMER communities who are particularly vulnerable.
To book your free flu and COVID-19 vaccine, please talk to your GP or pharmacist. You can find your local GP by clicking here and your local pharmacist by clicking here.
