  1. What Every Parent Should Know About the Flu Vaccine?

    What Every Parent Should Know About the Flu Vaccine?

    Children don’t seem to suffer from flu in the same way adults do but they are much more likely to catch and spread influenza.  They will have large volumes of the virus in their nasal secretions which carry on shedding for days after infection. They also have poorer hygiene practices tending to cough and sneeze over those nearest to them and regularly huddling together with their friends in a way that adults don’t tend to do, making them more susceptible. The influenza vaccine can protect your children and the rest of your family. If you are looking for a flu shot or the flu vaccination in Earlsfield then contact Pearl Chemist Group for all your winter flu needs.

    With all the focus on Covid-19, it is easy to overlook seasonal flu although the government is encouraging everyone to have a flu vaccination this year and has extended the free vaccine on the NHS to those aged between 50 and 64.  Coronavirus and flu could be quite a potent cocktail and so it has never been more important to make sure you have an annual flu shot.

  4. The Effects of Passive Smoking

    The Effects of Passive Smoking

    There is an increasing body of evidence to suggest that passive smoking can increase the risk of nasal sinus cancer, throat cancer, larynx cancer and breast cancer. It is also implicated in long and short-term respiratory problems and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease- all issues that are manifesting in people who don’t actually smoke. If you are a smoker or live with someone who smokes, then you can stop smoking immediately with the support of our free stop smoking clinic in Streatham or visit our stop smoking services in Mitcham both of which have helped hundreds of people on their way to a smoke-free and healthier life.

    When you smoke a cigarette, pipe or cigar, most of the smoke doesn’t go into your lungs, it goes into the air around you where anyone else can breathe it in.  Secondhand smoke refers to the exhaled smoke plus the ‘sidestream’ smoke created by the lit end of a cigarette.
