Is one flu-free for winter?

Your child is invited to have a flu vaccination this winter.

Flu can be an unpleasant illness and can cause serious complications. Having the flu vaccine protects your child and your family and friends, by preventing the spread of flu. It’s recommended to have the vaccine every year as the type of flu can vary each winter. 

The vaccination is a quick and painless spray up the nose. There is no charge for the vaccine. 

 

The School-aged Immunisation Service will be visiting school on 30/11/2023

Please discuss this immunisation with your child and complete the online form at before midnight on 24/11/2023 to tell us if your child is getting the vaccine or not.

Please submit either a YES consent or a NO consent as we will continue to invite your child to be vaccinated unless we hear from you. This may mean that one of our team calls you to obtain verbal consent over the phone. 

 

If we are unable to vaccinate your child at school you will receive an email with a link to our online clinic booking site where you can book an immunisation appointment.

The NHS

The school will be sending you a more detailed letter via email.
