Children’s flu vaccine

For most children, the flu vaccine is a nasal spray. It is quick and painless. An injectable flu vaccine is also available for children, if you prefer. Just ask when your child is invited to be vaccinated.

The following children will be offered a flu vaccination:

  • Children aged 2 or 3 years on 31 August 2024: Invited by GP
  • School-aged children (Reception to Year 11): Offered through school
  • Children over six months in a clinical risk group: Invited by GP

Sirona care & health provides school-aged vaccinations in our area. You can learn more about school flu vaccination in our area, including information in British Sign Language (BSL).
