1st May, 2025Winter is Coming: Don’t Forget to Book Your Family Visit!
The cooler months are here, and winter isn’t far from settling in. Which means it’s important to make sure the whole family is in peak health. As temperatures start to drop, the risk of colds, flus, and other winter-related illnesses start to rise. We’re here to make sure you stay as healthy as possible this winter. And it all starts with a simple family check-up.
Stay Ahead of Seasonal Illnesses
A pre-winter check-up helps protect you from viruses such as the flu or RSV. Now is the perfect time to start organising flu shots and vaccinations, and to address any health concerns that may be emerging as the colder weather creeps up.
Flu Shots Available at Carina Medical Centre
Flu shots are a popular proactive measure to stay healthy and protected during the winter months. The doctors at Carina Medical Centre can provide you and your whole family with one at your request.
Boost Immunity
For those suffering from chronic conditions such as asthma or diabetes, winter can make them difficult to manage. A check-up for all family members ensures treatment plans can be adjusted where necessary, medications are reviewed, and advice can be lent on everyday preventative measures.
What to Expect
During a family check-up, your doctor will be able to help all members at each stage of life. Including:
- Children’s health: Making sure your little ones remain as healthy as possible, and are protected with the recommended immunisations and health assessments.
- Women’s and men’s health: Your doctor will be able to help with a range of medical concerns, including mental health, skin checks, and any gender-specific needs.
- Allied health support: Keep the whole family happy and healthy by checking in with your doctor for referrals for psychologists, dietitians, and physiotherapists.
A Winter Tradition
Having an annual family pre-winter family check-up is a great habit to build, and ensures everyone is prepared and comfortable for the cold season. Immune systems can be impacted by the cold weather, so it’s important to stay on top of your health and remain proactive.
