Flu is back

Influenza vaccine is the most effective way to protect your child from becoming sick with influenza, commonly known as ‘the flu’. The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone over six months of age.

Children with chronic medical conditions are at risk of more serious illness from the flu. If your child has a chronic medical condition, it is strongly recommended that they have an annual influenza vaccine. All household members should also be vaccinated to reduce the chances of your child being exposed to influenza.
