As the icy fingers of winter creep closer, get yourself and your family prepared early. White Pages® helps you avoid the coughing, sneezing and sniffles of flu season with a few simple tips.

Tip 1: Organise your family’s flu vaccinations

Don’t leave it until the cold takes hold before you get the flu jab. Booking an appointment with your family doctor is easy. Simply visit White Pages® Online to look up the contact details of your local doctor’s clinic and have your whole family vaccinated.

Tip 2: Get some extra vitamins

A nice bowl of homemade soup can be the perfect comfort food to warm up the family on a chilly afternoon. When stirring the produce into the pot, try adding some extra ingredients such as garlic, ginger, broccoli and spinach, as natural ways to boost your immune system and protect your health.

Or, slice and dice a dose of vitamin C with wedges of orange as a simple snack throughout the day.

This is a simple way to enjoy delicious food while also getting your vitamin intake. Visit White Pages® Online to get details of your local food grocer so you can stock up on these super foods.

Tip 3: Stay warm

Getting caught out in the rain on a cold night can mean the start of something chesty. Try to layer up when heading out during winter, so you can easily adjust your body temperature for sudden weather changes. If you do get stuck, try using White Pages® Mobile to search for nearby chemists or convenience stores, to pick up that umbrella to see you through.

Don’t let the sniffles hold you back this winter, get onto White Pages® and get winter-proofed.
