Public Health Isle of Man focuses on improving winter health

Thu, 10 Dec 2020

Public Health Isle of Man has launched its 2020 Winter Health campaign.

The campaign will cover simple measures we can all take to remain well and protect vulnerable members of our community in the process.

A dedicated web page is available at www.gov.im/winterhealth and features information and guidance on a range of topics, including:
• The flu vaccine
• Respiratory and hand hygiene to protect against viruses and bacteria
• Staying active
• Mental wellbeing
• Making better use of your local pharmacist for over-the-counter remedies
• Considering a vitamin D supplement during the darker months
• When to contact your GP and what’s new when booking appointments

Guidance documents, posters and other messages will also be available around the Island at pharmacies, GP surgeries and many public buildings encouraging vigilance and self-care.
