Winter is coming...What is Flumonia?!

In this weeks episode I discuss the anticipated health challenges for the upcoming winter season. I draws parallels to Australia's recent flu season, highlighting the prevalence of diseases like flu, whooping cough (pertussis), RSV, and COVID-19. I emphasise the importance of vaccinations, especially given the uptick in measles and pertussis cases due to missed vaccinations during the pandemic lockdowns. I also give tips on preventive measures such as hand hygiene, the use of antigen tests, and maintaining a nutritious diet to boost immunity. Listeners are encouraged to stay informed through weekly updates on disease levels and vaccinations on WonderCare Instagram.This weeks chat includes:00:00 Introduction and Winter Health Concerns01:35 Measles: A Growing Concern02:36 Insights from Australia's Flu Season03:36 Pertussis: The Whooping Cough Threat06:25 RSV and Immunization Efforts09:58 COVID-19 Variants and Vaccination13:39 Preventive Measures and Final Thoughts16:42 Antigen Tests and Nutritional Tips18:50 Conclusion and Call to ActionSeason 9 Partnership– Salin Plus (available here!)I am so thrilled to be partnering with Salin plus  This 100% natural salt therapy device is suitable for both adults and children! Tune in to learn more!Support this PodcastSimply following and reviewing this podcast can make a huge difference! If you enjoy this episode I would be so grateful if you could follow or subscribe to the show!#childrenshealth #familyhealth #healthireland #pharmacy #pharmacist #flumonia #respiratoryhealth #covid #rsv #flu #pneumonia #winterhealth Hosted on Acast.
