Flu vaccination is one of the best ways to protect school-aged children against catching and spreading flu.
The flu vaccine is offered to all children from Reception to Year 11 (inclusive).
Most children will have their vaccine as a quick and painless nasal spray, where a fine mist is sprayed up the nose from the tip of each nostril.
Children and young people who can’t have the nasal spray, or who would prefer a gelatine-free vaccine, can have the flu vaccine by injection instead.
Flu can spread quickly through schools and cause serious illness in some children.
The free flu vaccination helps reduce that risk.
