flag Oxfordshire residents urged to get flu shots early as cases rise sooner than usual, with doctors highlighting prevention and healthy habits to avoid severe illness.

flag Residents in Oxfordshire are urged to get flu vaccinations early as cases are rising earlier than usual, with GP Dr Ellen Fallows warning that flu can cause severe illness even in healthy people. flag She shared her family’s experience with Influenza A, which led to prolonged symptoms like fever, fatigue, and breathing difficulties. flag Dr Fallows emphasizes that vaccines can prevent infection, reduce symptom severity, and lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes. flag She recommends healthy habits—prioritizing sleep, avoiding ultra-processed foods, limiting screen time before bed, eating earlier, and staying active—to support immunity. flag Good sleep before vaccination may boost immune response, while ventilation and handwashing help limit spread. flag With up to 15 million people expected to be affected by flu, coronaviruses, and strep this winter, early action is key to avoiding serious illness, missed work, or hospitalization. flag Dr Fallows will join the Welbeck Oxford medical centre, opening in Jordan Hill next year.
