Caring
for another person
This symptom
checker is designed for use by yourself or someone you are with.
It may not be safe to use if the person you are enquiring for is
not with you. Before
continuing with this questionnaire you need to make sure that:
- the person
is conscious and reacting to you normally, or
- if they
are asleep, that they react to gentle shaking.
If you are with
the person and you can't get them to react in any way, dial 999
and ask for an ambulance.
About
the Flu Jab
Flu
is a highly infectious illness which spreads very rapidly through
coughs and sneezes of people who are already carrying the virus.
Flu vaccination
(the flu jab) gives you good protection from flu and lasts for 1
year. The vaccine is normally available in the autumn and is made
from the strain of flu that is expected in the coming winter. To
stay protected, you need to have a flu jab every year. |
