Our School Aged Immunisation Team has made a video to inform families about the flu vaccination which is given to children from reception to year 11.
The team visits schools across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire from September to December to deliver the free flu vaccine.
Children who do not attend school, and anyone who missed the session in school, will be invited to a community clinic to receive their vaccine.
This video has been created to provide more information about why the vaccine is important, how children will receive it and what it feels like.
Children from a Bristol primary school feature in the video along with members of our Immunisation Team.
The flu vaccine is given as a nasal spray. Children and young people who are unable to receive this will be offered an injection instead.
You can find more information on the Immunisation Team’s web page.
