Description:
This leaflet explains what the flu is and how serious it can
be for older people. It also provides information about the
vaccine such as who should get it, when is the best time to
be vaccinated, how the vaccine works, how effective it is and
any side effects that may arise from taking it. Above all it
aims to provide reassurance that the vaccine does not give people
the flu, rather it protects against it. |
