Flu cases are rising early this year, especially in children and young adults! The flu nasal spray helps protect them from getting seriously unwell and stops flu spreading to vulnerable family members.

Our School Aged Immunisation team have already vaccinated over 35,000 children against flu across 285 Lincolnshire schools. The team are working hard to visit every school before the Christmas holidays, and they’ll be returning to all schools for catch-up sessions - making sure every eligible child has the chance to be protected.

📩 Parents/guardians — don’t forget to complete the online consent form (usually sent via email from your child’s school). You can also find it here: https://www.lincolnshirecommunityhealthservices.nhs.uk/index.php?cID=1441
