Get your flu shot to protect your family from illness

Influenza (the flu) is a highly contagious respiratory disease that spreads easily through coughs and sneezes. It poses serious risks, including fever, headache, and muscle pain lasting up to 3 weeks. 

Each year, it prompts many to miss work and can lead to hospitalisation from complications like pneumonia. Renewing the flu vaccine annually is crucial for maximum protection, as virus strains vary seasonally. 

Schedule your flu vaccine at Daintree Health to safeguard yourself and your family from potential illnesses.
