COLD, FLU & VACCINATION
Within the realm of healthcare services provided by The Medis Pharmacy, it is our mission to empower you with the knowledge necessary to differentiate between the common cold and influenza. These two viral infections often present with similar symptoms, which makes it essential to understand that the flu is a far more serious illness than the common cold.
At The Medis Pharmacy, we are committed to offering you comprehensive insights into recognizing, preventing, and managing the symptoms associated with both colds and flu. We provide cold and flu shots in Port Coquitlam to help you stay protected. Additionally, our cold and flu check-ups ensure you receive the best care and guidance. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of vaccination as your primary line of defense against the influenza virus. Our goal is to equip you with the information and tools you need to make informed decisions about your health and well-being.
4 REASONS TO GET A FLU SHOT EVERY YEAR
- In comparison to the common cold, influenza represents a significantly more severe illness.
- The flu virus undergoes annual changes, necessitating an evolving vaccine.
- Getting a flu shot not only protects you but also acts as a barrier to prevent the flu from spreading to both you and those in your vicinity.
- The administration of a flu shot is a swift and uncomplicated process.
