The vaccination is recommended to protect your child against the flu virus. Flu can be an unpleasant illness and can cause serious complications. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable family members and friends by preventing the spread of the flu. There may be an increase in flu levels this coming winter following low levels in the past 2 years as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. 

Your child will not be given this vaccination without your consent. 

The vaccination is free and is a quick, simple and painless spray up the nose.
