MYTH: “Flu is just a bad cold”
FACT: A bad bout of flu is much worse than a heavy cold. It was estimated that in 2017/18 there were 26,000 deaths associated with flu nationally. Flu symptoms appear suddenly and sometimes severely. See more: https://t.co/hiiLXUNu2z #flumythbusting
As flu is caused by several viruses, the immunity you naturally developed will only protect against one strain. You could go on to catch another strain, so it's recommended you have the vaccine even if you recently had flu. More info: https://t.co/hiiLXUNu2z #flumythbusting
The viruses that cause flu can change every year, so you need a vaccination that matches the new viruses each year. The vaccine usually provides protection for the duration of that year's flu season.

Flu can cause severe illness and even death for people with an underlying health condition. If you have been prescribed a preventer inhaler alongside your blue inhaler, you can get a free flu vaccine – speak to your GP.
