The benefits of receiving the flu vaccination jab

The common flu is an illness caused by the influenza virus that can affect the nose, throat and lungs. It can have varying degrees of seriousness and can affect different patients in different ways. It can be of particular concern in older and more vulnerable patients and the flu vaccination is recommended and even offered for free for many people.
