Flu doesn't discriminate

You can catch flu throughout the year, but it is especially common during the winter.1

This is why it is also known as 'seasonal flu'.1 Flu causes a seasonal epidemic every year.1

Anyone can get flu, even if they feel healthy. Most people make a full recovery and will not experience any further problems.2 However, the elderly, pregnant people, children and people with certain existing health conditions may be at a greater risk of flu-related complications.2,3

Talk to your GP, nurse or pharmacist if you would like further information or advice about how to help prevent catching or spreading flu.1
