At Cumnock Pharmacy, your health is our priority. This winter, protect yourself and those around you with safe and effective Flu and COVID vaccinations.
The flu (influenza) is a contagious viral infection that affects the nose, throat, and lungs. It can cause:
Fever, chills, and body aches
Cough, sore throat, and fatigue
In severe cases, pneumonia and hospitalisation
Flu spreads easily through coughs, sneezes, or touching contaminated surfaces. It can make even healthy people very unwell, but is especially dangerous for older adults, pregnant women, and people with long-term health conditions.
COVID-19 is caused by the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Symptoms can range from mild cold-like illness to severe breathing problems. It spreads mainly through close contact, respiratory droplets, and touching contaminated surfaces.
Although many people recover quickly, COVID can still cause serious illness, long-term complications, or hospitalisation, especially in vulnerable groups.
Getting vaccinated is the best way to reduce your risk of catching flu or COVID — and to protect your loved ones. Vaccines:
Lower your chance of getting seriously ill
Help protect vulnerable people in your community
Reduce pressure on the NHS during winter
Offer safe, proven protection
Even if you’re fit and healthy, vaccination helps stop the spread and keeps everyone safer.
