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.
