It’s a fact: the summer of 2011 will officially go down as the wettest since 1906. And now the days are getting shorter and autumn is making its presence felt. All the more reason then to make sure you are well prepared against the flu.

You can drop by for your flu jab any time during our opening hours. What’s more, you will not have to make a prior appointment.
How much does the flu jab cost?
The flu jab costs €24.95 (which includes the consultation cost).
What exactly is the flu?
The flu is caused by the influenza virus. Within a few hours of getting the flu you’ll feel very poorly. The symptoms include: headache, muscle ache, shivering, coughing and a fever. But if you do feel poorly it need not necessarily be the flu; colds and gastroenteritis, for example, are caused by different viruses to the influenza virus.
