🤧 Flu Season is Here: Safeguard Your Health with Vaccination

The flu — or influenza — is more than just a bad cold. It can cause high fever, body aches, a persistent cough, and extreme tiredness that can last more than two weeks. In young children, it can also cause vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach discomfort.

The good news is that flu vaccination is one of the steps you can take to help reduce your chances of getting it, or to lessen how severe it may be if you do.
Who may benefit from flu vaccination?
Singapore's Ministry of Health recommends vaccination, especially for:
• Adults aged 65 and above
• Young children aged 6 months to 59 months
• Pregnant women (at any stage)
• Those with long-term health conditions such as heart, lung, kidney, or metabolic conditions
• Those with a weakened immune system
• Residents in nursing homes or long-term care facilities
• Healthcare workers

Already feeling unwell?
We also offer a rapid flu test at the clinic — results are available in about 15 minutes. If flu is confirmed, our GP can discuss treatment options with you. Antiviral medication (such as Tamiflu) is most helpful when started early — within the first 48 hours of symptoms.

💳 Medisave may be used for flu vaccination for eligible groups. We are a CHAS-approved clinic.

Understanding Syphilis and the Role of Screening

Syphilis is a bacterial infection that is more common than many people realise — and it does not always cause obvious symptoms. This is why screening is important for staying informed about your health.

What you may not know about syphilis:
• Symptoms can be mild or easy to miss — some people experience skin rashes, sores, or general discomfort such as stomach or body aches, while others may notice nothing at all.
• It progresses in stages — if left undetected, it can affect other parts of the body over time.
• A simple blood test can detect it — screening is straightforward and quick.
• It is treatable when detected — early detection allows your doctor to advise on the appropriate next steps.

If you have concerns or are unsure whether screening is right for you, our GPs are available for a consultation. We will take the time to understand your situation and explain your options clearly.

Your Health First: Consider a Cervical Cancer Check

Between work, family, and catching up with friends, it is easy to put your own health on the back foot.

Cervical Cancer screening is internationally recommended for all women.
Early detection of cervical cancer can be the difference between cure and a life threatening situation.
• You should consider a cervical cancer check if:
• You are aged 25 or above
• Women between 25 and 29 years of age: Pap smear every 3 years
• Women between 30 and 69 years of age: HPV test every 5 years
These checks are usually part of routine health care and detect early changes leading to cervical cancer.

If you are unsure when to go for one, you can speak to a GP for guidance.

Chlamydia is a common infection, and some people may not notice symptoms early on. When symptoms do appear, they may include:

Because symptoms may be mild, it can be easy to miss.

• You have a new partner
• You have more than one partner
• You are unsure about how safe you have been in the past
• It has been some time since your last check

If you have concerns, you can speak to a GP for guidance.
