Working within healthcare, you are more susceptible to the flu virus and risk passing it on to your colleagues, your family and patients.
You can still be a flu carrier even if you have no symptoms and you have the best protection if you develop immunity before the flu virus starts circulating.
The most effective way to protect yourself from the flu every year is to have the flu jab.
You may be offered them at the same time or you may decide to have them separately. We would encourage you to get both vaccinations as soon as you can and not delay.
