🧠 Did You Know?
A child under five is over 5× more likely to be hospitalised with flu than someone aged over 65
❌ Myth: “Flu is just a bad cold.
Flu symptoms come on suddenly, often with high fever, fatigue, and body aches – much more severe than a cold.
✅ Fact: Flu vaccines help protect others too
Even if you’re healthy, getting vaccinated helps protect vulnerable people in your community.
🧴 Fact: Flu spreads easily!
Flu viruses can live on surfaces for 24 hours – handwashing matters.
💉 Myth: “The flu vaccine gives you flu"
Not true! Flu vaccines don’t contain live virus (except nasal spray, which is weakened and safe)
