There are three types of flu vaccinations that are specific for different ages groups. One for 65yrs and over, one for 64yrs and under and Nasal flu for children.
Our clinics are built around the deliveries of our flu vaccinations and this year there has been a manufacturing delay on the flu vaccinations for those aged 64yrs and under. This is because the World Health Organization took a decision to delay the vaccinations by 1 month.
Child Nasal Flu
The Nasal flu will be given to children at school if they are in the school years of Year R - Year 5, this will be given by the school nurse. The school should make you aware of when this will be.
GP surgeries are only able to vaccinate those children aged 2 - 3yrs old as of the 1st September and any child with any of the above medical conditions that will not be given the vaccination at school. We are currently unable to order child nasal flu vaccinations until the 14th October 2019, so clinics will be held after this time.
