Don't let the flu get you!

Stephanie Gray from Nelson Marlborough Health

Influenza, or the flu, can be anywhere. It is easy to catch and it is much worse than a cold.
Some people with flu need to stay in hospital for a while. A few people die from flu.

Did you know that many people don’t know they have had the flu as they do not feel ill? But they can still pass it on and make other people very sick.

The best way to protect yourself, your family and people around you, is by having a flu shot every year. The flu shot helps your body protect itself from flu.

Ask your doctor or nurse, or check with your workplace, about a flu shot today.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
