Benefit to you

A major benefit is very little waiting and convenient hours.

It is very beneficial for those who work in close contact with other people or who travel by public transport.

Vaccinations help to prevent illness by giving you immune protection in most cases, and by reducing the odds by including the strains of ‘flu most likely to appear in a “season”. Our recommended system to boost the body’s take-up of vaccination (“sero-positive”) is to follow-up the injection with Wade’s immune Action (aka Winter Mix).

Frequency:

Health authorities are recommending annual vaccinations.
