Cervical screening can determine whether you have human papillomavirus (HPV) and changes in your cells that could go on to develop into cancer if left untreated. If you are aged between 25 and 64 it's important to book and attend for screening when invited.

If at any time you feel something isn't right, don’t wait, contact your GP.

The PHA is highlighting the need for kids to get vaccinated against flu, with the agency’s latest surveillance data showing that influenza activity continues to increase, with the highest positivity rate in children aged 5 – 14 years.

📌Don’t underestimate the flu – give your child protection with the vaccine.
📌Children in P1 to Year 12 will be offered the flu vaccine free in school.
📌All pre-school children aged two years and over will be offered the free vaccine in their GP surgery.

Most children receive the vaccine via a quick and painless nasal spray - just two seconds to provide them with the maximum protection against flu this winter. 📍Remember, check school bags for consent forms, sign and return ASAP!
