offered the flu vaccine.

Given as a nasal spray, it’s quick and just feels like a tickle in their nose.

Heading out this Halloween? Sort your lift, taxi or designated driver before you go 👇

Trick or Treat, which would you pick?

“I'm fine to drive.”
“It’s only one drink”
“It’s not far.”

Don’t fall for the tricks. If you’re drinking, don’t drive.

Plan your journey home before you head out.

Real roads don’t reset.
