Flu shot
A flu shot is the best way to protect people who are at a high risk of developing flu-related complications. Your pharmacist-owner affiliated with Accès pharma now offers a flu vaccination service (service availability varies by pharmacy). Find out why getting a flu shot is important and how to protect yourself against the influenza virus.
Immunization
Naturally catching certain diseases protects you against them thereafter, much like vaccines. However, the associated risks are much more serious. For example, the risk of encephalitis after the measles vaccine is 1 in 1 million, whereas the risk drastically increases to 1 in 1,000 if you catch the disease.
Vaccination to Protect the Community
