Further information about the annual flu vaccination for children can be found on our website. 

Parents of children aged 12 to 15 are also being encouraged to book their children in for COVID-19 vaccinations. These can be booked on the national booking system or by calling 119. 

If parents have received a text this week from NHSvaccine about their school-aged child’s flu vaccination status, and they have had their vaccination, they do not need to do anything. Their child’s immunisation record will be up-to-date and they can ignore the text.
Thank you.
