NHS Flu Vaccinations

December 6, 2023

Why get your child vaccinated?
It helps keep your child safe from flu. Flu can be a nasty illness and sometimes causes serious problems such as a chest infection which can develop into pneumonia. It is a quick and simple nose spray. Giving your child the flu spray will stop the spread. This will help keep friends and family safe. Older people and those with illnesses are most at risk if they catch flu from children.

The flu vaccination is free for your child. Flu viruses change, so even if they had it last year, they need it again this year.www.nhs.uk/child-flu has more information and tells you which children need the flu jab instead of the nose spray.

The nasal spray contains porcine/pork gelatine, is there an alternative?

Yes, we offer a flu injectable vaccine that DOES NOT contain pork gelatine (otherwise known as porcine gelatine). To consent to flu injectable, click no to the nasal flu vaccine and you will be given further options.

We do not give the alternative flu injectable vaccine in primary school sessions. To receive the flu injection for children in reception to year 6 you must contact us on 01274 221269 to arrange a Clinic Appointment.
