Intranasal Flu immunisation - Friday 24th November 2023
The School Nursing Service will be visiting the school to offer pupils a nasal flu spray vaccine on Friday 24th November 2023.
The consent form can be completed here: Flu E-Consent Form
Please submit one form per child no later than 48 hours before the above date. Any consent forms submitted after this time may result in your child not receiving their vaccine on the day. Should you have any difficulties accessing the above link, please contact 01633 431685 for further support.
It’s very important to protect your child from flu to make sure they stay as healthy as possible, as flu is likely to circulate this winter. The best flu vaccine for most children is a nasal spray. This is the vaccine that will be given on the day. For information about flu vaccination please visit phw.nhs.wales/fluvaccine.
Whether you intend to select YES or NO, we encourage all parents to complete an e-consent form and have their say on their child's flu immunisation. For negative consents there is an option to make comments which will support us in understanding your reasons or barriers.
