Flu Vaccine <\/h2>\n

All children from Reception to Year 6 will be offered the flu vaccination<\/h3>\n

The vaccine is given as a simple spray up the nose. It is painless, quick, and serious side effects are uncommon. It is designed to protect your child against flu which can be an unpleasant illness and, although rarely may cause serious complications. The flu vaccine provides protection against the strains that are predicted to circulate in the coming season.  These strains may change from year to year which is why we recommend receiving the vaccination every year.<\/p>\n

This vaccination is part of the NHS routine immunisation programme for which your child is now due.<\/p>\n

Further information can be found at the Public Health England website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This information includes details about children for whom the nasal spray is not appropriate.<\/p>\n

Flu Vaccination Consent Form<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The consent process is electronic. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Please complete the consent form (one for each child, please) using the following link, this link will lead you to an online platform to give your consent to the  vaccination.<\/p>\n

The link will close at midday on the working day before the<\/span> vaccination date and <\/strong>all forms will need to be submitted by this date<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The consent form can only completed by someone with parental responsibility, if you have any queries about whether or not you hold parental responsibility and are therefore able to complete the consent form please contact the immunisation team on the number below,<\/p>\n
