Hywel Dda University Health Board (UHB) is urging all eligible people who have yet to get their COVID-19 autumn booster and/or their annual flu vaccine to get protected.

Dr Joanne McCarthy, Deputy Director of Public Health at Hywel Dda UHB, said: “Flu is caused by the influenza virus. It can be a very unpleasant illness and lead to serious problems, such as bronchitis and pneumonia”
