NHS Lothian is encouraging parents and carers to help keep children healthy this winter by getting them vaccinated against flu.All primary and secondary school pupils are eligible for the vaccine, which is given in schools as a painless nasal spray.Getting children vaccinated against flu reduces the chances of them becoming ill and helps prevent them passing the illness to vulnerable family members.Consent packs containing a letter, leaflet and consent form will be sent home to parents and carers of school children.
Secondary pupils can self-consent, though they are encouraged to speak to a parent or carer first.Letters with appointment details for children aged two to five years who are not yet at school will begin to arrive at homes from September.Pat Wynne, nurse director for NHS Lothian, said: “Getting the nasal spray flu vaccine is the best way to protect your child and those around them.” For details, visit www.nhsinform.scot/childflu or call 0800 030 8013.
