Why vaccinate against flu?

The flu isn’t ‘just a cold’. It is an infectious respiratory virus that can cause serious illness in children and the elderly. Even fit and healthy children can become seriously unwell with flu. Children under the age of 5 are at a higher risk of serious illness and complications from flu.

The flu shot is offered annually, ahead of the winter season, to protect children against the most common flu viruses.

• The flu vaccine is quick, safe and effective.
• It is recommended that all children from the age of 6 months receive the flu vaccine.
• Children receiving the flu shot for the first time will need two doses, at least 4 weeks apart.
• Children under the age of 6 months, and those with certain allergies, are not eligible for the vaccine.
