Children’s flu vaccine
Flu can be an unpleasant illness in children and some children can develop serious complications. By offering the flu vaccination to as many children as possible, we hope to protect both them and other family members in time for winter as the infection is less able to spread. The vaccine is given as a nasal flu spray which is quick and easy to administer.
The School Age Immunisation team will be offering flu immunisations to more than 45,000 Children in Doncaster from September through to January.
If your child is in one of the eligible cohorts you either be sent via school an electronic link to complete a consent form online or you will be given a letter and consent form by school to bring home for you to complete.
If you do not receive either, please contact us on the number below.
If your child is home educated or you have deferred entry until next year, please see the timetable below. You are welcome to bring your child to any of these sessions.
