Help protect your child from flu

This year, all children in primary and secondary school (up to Year 11) are eligible for the free nasal flu vaccine at school, with your consent.

The nasal spray flu vaccine is quick, painless and could protect your child from flu which is easily spread around the family. Complete the online electronic consent form if you would like your child to be fully protected.
