Flu Fighting Tips

There's quite alot you can do to stay flu-free this winter:-

• Carry plenty of tissues to catch coughs and sneezes.
• Throw used tissues in the bin straight away.
• Wash hands regularly with soap and water, especially before eating, to prevent germs from spreading.
• Protect yourself with a flu jab, £10 available from selected Tesco pharmacies from 5th October 2011. Even if you had one last year, flu strains can change so you'll need another.
• If you're in the 'at risk' category, which includes everyone aged 65 and over, pregnant women, and those with long term conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, you're entitled to a free flu jab on the NHS. Ask your GP for details.
