Quick lesson in flu prevention<br />
Twenty six teachers and<br />
admin staff at Barrenjoey<br />
High lined up to get a flu<br />
vaccination late last month<br />
after organising for registered<br />
nurse immuniser Cath<br />
Tancred (above), who delivered<br />
jabs in a series of clinics in the<br />
YouSave Chemist in Avalon,<br />
to do the same at the school.<br />
This was the first year the<br />
pharmacy held flu clinics instore.<br />
Pharmacist/pharmacy<br />
owner Simon Herfort said<br />
he was encouraged by the<br />
positive response from locals,<br />
with 150 people getting their<br />
flu shot in the chemist citing<br />
convenience and price as motivating<br />
factors. The four initial<br />
clinics were so well received<br />
the pharmacy team put on<br />
three extra sessions and now<br />
plans to extend this important<br />
flu prevention program next<br />
year. Barrenjoey High Principal<br />
Ian Bowsher said he was<br />
proud to see the teachers and<br />
staff being proactive about<br />
their health as immunisation<br />
not only helped protect them<br />
against influenza but helped<br />
reduce the risks of students<br />
coming down with this highly<br />
contagious viral infection.<br />
