Avoid illness and discomfort — book your flu shot today!
Don’t let the flu get in the way of your holiday plans and work commitments. ARC clinics are seeing an increase in flu cases, and there are reports of a more severe strain circulating globally. You may wonder if the current vaccine will still protect you. The answer is yes! If you haven’t received your flu shot yet, there’s still time. It can take two weeks to fully benefit from a shot, so book now ahead of the holiday season.
