Woman with a plaster on her arm from vaccination. Text reads: Vanessa wanted to stay as healthy as possible during winter.Vanessa's Story

I know that during winter, there are more viruses and germs around to make us ill. I wanted to make sure I stayed fit and well during the winter months, so that I could spend time with my loved ones and continue to do the things I enjoyed. 

Booking my vaccination was very simple. I visited my local pharmacy, but I could also have booked online at nhs.uk/bookflu or called 119. The jabs will give me that extra protection over winter, helping to prevent me getting sick. If I do pick up COVID-19 or flu, I know I will be less likely to have a severe case which will lead to a speedier recovery.
