What is seasonal flu (influenza)?

Seasonal flu is a highly infectious viral illness of the respiratory tract that can be life threatening.

Can flu cause serious illness?

Flu is a serious illness with most deaths from seasonal flu occurring in people aged 65 years and over. Swine Flu, a new flu virus, caused a pandemic in 2009 and infected in particular young children, pregnant women and those under 65 years with long term medical conditions.

Is it cold or flu?

Flu symptoms come on suddenly with a fever, muscle aches, headache and fatigue. A cold is a much less serious illness than flu and usually starts gradually with a sore throat and a blocked or runny nose.

How does the seasonal flu vaccine work?

Seasonal flu vaccine helps the person’s immune system to produce antibodies to the flu virus.

How safe is flu vaccine?

Seasonal flu vaccines have been given for more than 60 years to millions of people worldwide. Reactions are generally mild and serious side effects are very rare.

What can I expect after vaccination?

The most common side effects will be mild and may include:
- Soreness
- Redness
- Swelling at injection site.

Some people may also experience:
- Headache
- Fever
- Aches
- Tiredness

This is not the flu and will pass after a day or so.

We are offering Booster vaccines to everybody aged 12 & over, if appropriate. Booster doses are Pfizer vaccines.

Find out what happens to your blood pressure over 24 hours. The 24 hour blood pressure monitor is a simple non-invasive investigation. You wear a small device on your waist connected to a cuff on your arm for 24 hours. Measurements are taken every 30 minutes during the day and night. Normal daily activities are not affected.

What are the advantages of a 24 hour Blood Pressure Monitor?
You can have this investigation undertaken in our pharmacy here in Drogheda Town Centre at your convenience. Just talk to our pharmacy staff to book an appointment to have the monitor fitted or phone us at (041) 9835 952. We will then remove the monitor the following day. You will be provided with a detailed report showing the changes in your blood pressure over the 24-hour period.

Your results from the 24 hour Blood Pressure Monitor can then be forwarded to your GP or Consultant if you wish.

This monitor takes readings at set intervals during the 24 hours. This service monitors changes to your blood pressure more accurately throughout the day and night. It also helps to eliminate the ‘white-coat phenomenon’. This occurs when a person’s blood pressure is known to rise due to the stress of attending a Doctor. Many Doctors use 24-hour monitoring before deciding whether you need to be started on medication to lower your blood pressure, or whether your medication needs to be changed.

The cost of the service is €55.
