You only get one shot!
Out of all the things you end up regretting, getting the flu has to be high on the list. Not only does it bring you down, but it affects everyone else around you too.
And if you have a family, or pass it on at work, it’s not just the 1–2 weeks that you’re out of action — it’s the domino effect that means everyone close to you is left feeling sluggish over the winter months.
Avoiding all that, and getting out and about to enjoy the fabulous winter weather we enjoy in this part of the world, you just can’t put a price on it!
