and farewell . . . .

After designing and printing the St Francis Info Ads magazine for the past 12 years and having just completed the 154th edition, this will be my last!

Having moved to St Francis Bay from London just over 14 years ago and coming from an engineering background, teaching myself graphic design and running the local print shop was a dramatic but amazing career change!

With many small businesses in the village, operating from home, we saw the need for an affordable way for local business owners to advertise their services and came up with the idea of the monthly magazine. It was a great way to integrate into the community introducing myself, and the magazine to local residents and businesses.

I’m proud to say that the magazine has been one of the most popular monthly advertising mediums in St Francis Bay and Cape St Francis for many years. The feedback from clients who have seen their businesses grow through them advertising is always rewarding to hear. I am of course extremely grateful to all my clients, some of who have been advertising with me since the very rst edition!

We moved to Port Elizabeth 6 years ago as my husbands business had expanded beyond the bridge and I continued to run the magazine from there. I have however now decided that it’s time to start something closer to home and to sell up.

I’m thankful that a local family has bought the business and I am excited to see what Meghan has in mind to grow the magazine and help even more businesses in the area.

Please continue to support the Info Ads and contact Meghan if you would like to advertise.

Thank you again for your continued support over the years and to all of you who have enjoyed the monthly publication. I am truly grateful for the opportunities and for the friendships made. We will still be visiting regularly and look forward to seeing you all.

Kind Regards, Shelley

HEALTH

CONSCIOUS

FLU SEASON IS NEARLY HERE!

In South Africa, flu circulation is highly seasonal and circulates during the winter. The average season starts the first week of June; however, it could start as early as April or as late as July. The season typically lasts about 12 weeks.

FLU SYMPTOMS Influenza (flu) can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. Flu is different from a cold. Flu usually comes on suddenly. People who have flu often feel some or all of these symptoms: fever* or feeling feverish/chills • cough • sore throat • runny or stuffy nose muscle or body aches • headaches •fatigue (tiredness) some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults. *It’s important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.

FLU COMPLICATIONS Most people who get flu will recover in a few days to less than two weeks, but some people will develop complications (such as pneumonia) as a result of flu. Sinus and ear infections are examples of moderate complications from flu, while pneumonia is a serious flu complication that can result from either flu virus infection alone or from co-infection of flu virus and bacteria. Flu also can make chronic medical problems worse. For example, people with asthma may experience asthma attacks while they have flu, and people with chronic heart disease may experience a worsening of this condition triggered by flu.

Since the flu season and COVID-19 are now overlapping, the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) in South Africa has recommended that everyone, in particular those who are at high-risk of developing severe flu and flu-related complications, receive a flu vaccination ahead of influenza season this year.

THE BEST TIME TO GET YOUR FLU VACCINE IS BEFORE THE END OF APRIL. POP IN AND GET YOUR FLU VACCINE TODAY! DO I STILL NEED TO TAKE THE FLU VACCINE IF I HAVE HAD THE COVID-19 VACCINE? Yes, the flu vaccine protects against infection from influenza viruses, while COVID-19 vaccines protect against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
