Flu vaccination online consent form
During September - December the School Nursing Service will be offering your child the influenza vaccination in school. This vaccination is recommended to help protect your child against flu. Flu can be an unpleasant illness and can cause serious complications. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable family and friends by preventing the spread of flu. With COVID-19 still in circulation it is important to reduce the number of those becoming ill with flu this winter to help protect them, the NHS and social care.
The vaccination is free and is a quick, simple and painless spray up the nose. If your child has not had the vaccine before and you require more information, please visit Child flu vaccine - NHS (www.nhs.uk)
