Stay Well This Winter is designed to encourage people who are at particular risk of becoming seriously ill over the winter period to adopt behaviours that will help them avoid admission to hospital. This includes:
- Getting a flu vaccination for people with long-term health conditions, pregnant women and parents of children aged 2-3 years.
- Urging people over 65 years, especially the frail elderly (many of whom have underlying health conditions) to seek advice from their pharmacist at the first signs of feeling unwell, before it gets more serious.
