• The flu vaccine may lead to slight side effects which would fade quickly, but it certainly does not give you the flu.
• By getting vaccinated, you drastically reduce the risk of passing on flu symptoms to people with compromised immune systems. For example, older relatives or people with chronic health conditions would suffer badly from catching the flu.
• Even in cases where the vaccine does not completely prevent the onset of flu, the severity of the symptoms would be far lesser than if you refused vaccination.
• Most health insurance providers would cover the costs of flu vaccination, as it is generally considered preventive treatment.

Union Quay Medical Centre offer an on-site flu vaccination service for groups, companies or organisations of 20 people or more. With the constantly changing weather conditions in Ireland throughout winter, early flu vaccination ensures minimum employee absenteeism due to flu throughout the winter months. At Union Quay Medical Centre we prioritise convenience for our clients.
