Give your health a head start this winter
Help your child to stay healthy this winter by making sure their immunisations are up to date, including the flu vaccine. Flu can be horrible for young children and they can also spread it to others more vulnerable.
Protect your children and reduce the spread of flu. Your child can have a quick, painless flu nasal spray at school or you can book an appointment for 2-3 year olds at your GP surgery.
