Extra flu vaccine clinics are being set up for school aged children, as cases are on the rise.
It’s not too late to get your child vaccinated against flu, if they missed out at school. The NHS in Greater Manchester urges parents to act now, as cases of flu are rising in children aged 5 to 14 years old. Children catch and spread flu easily and it can make them very poorly.
Extra flu vaccine clinics have been set up for school aged children across Greater Manchester that will start this Saturday 11th January 2025 and end on the 18th January 2025.
If you have a school aged child (Reception to Year 11) that missed out on the flu vaccine at school, please ring Intrahealth on 03333 583 397 and choose Option 1 to find the clinic closes to you.
The vast majority of children can be given the flu vaccine as a quick painless nasal spray.
