We have produced a leaflet and video for parents and carers of children who want to know a bit more. They provide some easy to read information and are a good check on some facts. They talk about why flu matters and how to understand the difference from the common cold. They talk about who the vaccine is suitable for and explain that the nasal spray vaccine is not an injection. They also demonstrate how it is given.
A few bits to remember. You should speak to your school or healthcare team to check if your child is eligible for a free nasal spray vaccine; and if the nasal spray is not suitable for your child, an alternative injectable flu vaccine may be offered.This leaflet and video have been produced and funded by AstraZeneca.
