Free flu vaccine catch-up for school aged children
School aged children up to and including Year 11 can access free flu vaccinations this January. The flu vaccine is the best defence against severe illness, hospitalisation, and missed work or school. Let’s work together to keep everyone healthy this winter. For most children the vaccine is a nasal spray, not an injection. It is quick and painless. The flu nasal spray contains pork gelatine. If your child needs a vaccine without pork products, you can discuss your options with your nurse or doctor.
When: Saturday 11 January and Saturday 18 January, 9am to 12.30pm.
Where: Harmood Children’s Centre 1 Forge Place, London NW1 8DQ.
Book by calling 020 4603 3495 or emailing camden@v-uk.co.uk - drop-ins may be available but are not guaranteed. Find out more at schoolvaccination.uk/catch-up-clinics.
