The School Aged Immunisation team at Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is reminding parents and carers of the importance of protecting their children against the virus by ensuring they have their flu vaccination.
The children’s flu vaccine is safe, effective, and free, and is being offered as a simple nasal spray to all school-age children and young people, from Reception age up to, and including, Year 11, including those who are home educated and in special education. Read more here>
Parents and guardians, it is not too late to protect your children from flu in time for Christmas!
Our immunisation team is also offering the nasal flu and an injectable version of the vaccine at community venues across Gloucestershire throughout December for those children who do not wish to receive their flu vaccination at school, have missed it due to absence, are home schooled or not in mainstream education.
