An Irish Pharmacist is advising the public to make use of ‘triple virus antigen tests’ that are now available as cases of Covid, Flu and other respiratory illnesses continue to surge.
Sheena Mitchell of Wonderbaba.ie and Milltown totalhealth pharmacy echoed the advice from the HSE as it pushed people to get the flu vaccine, particularly children aged 2-17 years as there have been many hospitalisations within this age group recently.
The flu virus typically peaks in February and ends in April, but at the moment there is fear that Ireland may have many more cases to come - putting further pressure on the already struggling health system.
