Increase Your Immunity from Viruses or Infections

Viruses can cause a wide range of illnesses, from respiratory infections such as the common cold to life-threatening meningitis. Apart from the symptoms they produce, some viruses can be factors in the development of other noninfectious conditions.

For example, hepatitis, a common and contagious illness caused by one of several different viruses – hepatitis A, B, C or E – infects the liver, sometimes resulting in severe disease that can progress to noncontagious cirrhosis or liver cancer. Some other cancers, such as cervical cancer and T-cell leukaemia, are also triggered by viruses.

The best way to increase your immunity is by receiving vaccines against common viruses you many encounter, such as flu, measles and hepatitis A and B.

Please see Adult Vaccinations to see when you need to get one.
