The flu is making the rounds across the rohe, but it’s not too late to take action. Being proactive now and not waiting gives you and your whānau the best chance to stay well this winter. As the saying goes, “Mua kai kai, muri kai hūare.”

Recognise the signs early, take time to rest, stay hydrated, and give your body the care it needs. There’s no quick cure once the flu hits- it’s all about rest and recovery.

To support your wellbeing, many also choose to get the flu vaccine- it's a safe, reliable option that’s free for many in our hapori.

For more information or to book your vaccination, contact your GP, pharmacy, or a mobile clinic near you.

Be One Step Ahead this flu season.
