🎃👻 IT’S A THRILLER… BUT FLU SHOULDN’T BE! 💉🦠

🎶 “Cause this is thriller, thriller night…” 🧟‍♂️

The only thing we want haunting you this Halloween is a good fancy-dress costume, not the flu! 👻

💉 DON’T LET FLU GIVE YOU A FRIGHT!

Flu season is here, so if you’re eligible for a free flu vaccination, don’t forget to get yours! It helps protect you against flu and can help reduce the risk of serious illness. 💚

🎃 A FEW MORE HEALTHY TREATS, NO TRICKS!

👻 Don’t ghost your health: Keep up with your health appointments.

💧 Water you waiting for? Stay hydrated throughout the day.

🍬 Enjoy your treats: Halloween is for having fun, so enjoy your favourite sweets without the guilt!

🧡 Be a good neighbour: Check in on friends, family and anyone who might appreciate a little extra support.

🦇 Keep moving: A spooky walk or a dance to “Monster Mash” counts towards keeping active!

🩺 NOT SURE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR A FREE FLU JAB?

Speak to your GP or pharmacist to check your eligibility.

🎃 Have a fang-tastic Halloween and stay safe, stay spooky and stay well! 🧡💚

💬 Tell us in the comments: what’s your favourite Halloween song? Are you a “Thriller” fan, a “Monster Mash” dancer or something else entirely? 👇🎶

🧘‍♀️ Think smoking helps you feel less stressed?

It might feel like a cigarette helps you relax, but smoking can actually keep you caught in a cycle of cravings and withdrawal.

When you quit, you can break that cycle and, over time, feel less stressed and anxious and more at ease. 💚

🚭 Stopping starts with quitting.

Whether you're ready to quit now or just thinking about it, support is available.

🎮 Tried to quit smoking before, but couldn't make it stick?

You're definitely not alone.

For many people, quitting smoking takes more than one attempt. If you've tried before, you've already learnt something about what works for you and what doesn't.

So don't press GAME OVER just yet. 👀

🚭 Keep going.
💷 Save money.
❤️ Look after your health.
🎯 Give quitting another go.

Your next attempt could be the one that sticks.

Ready to quit for good? Find support and make your plan this Stoptober:

🧐💉 FLU FACT OR FICTION?

❓ “The flu jab can give you flu.”

🚨 FICTION!

The flu vaccine cannot give you flu.

The vaccine helps your body build protection against the viruses that cause flu, helping to reduce your risk of becoming seriously unwell.

Still have questions about the flu vaccine?

👉 Find out more from the NHS: https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/flu-vaccine/

🚐 And if you're eligible, keep an eye out for our Health & Wellbeing Van!

📍 WHERE'S THE VAN? is posted every Sunday at 6pm.
