We recommend annual flu vaccinations to anyone who would be at more risk of the serious complications of flu than the general population. This means people over 65, those with a chronic lung or chest condition like asthma or COPD, people who have diabetes, people with heart disease and pregnant women. All children who fall into one of at risk groups above should also receive it.
In addition an annual nasal spray flu vaccine be available for all two and three year olds i.e. born between 1 September 2013 and 31 August 2015. For most children the vaccine is a quick and painless procedure given as a spray into each nostril.
Children in reception class and school years 1,2,3,4 are also recommended to have one but these are being given in school.The flu vaccine doesn't work well in babies under 6 months which is why it is important for pregnant women to have it to protect newborn babies as they pass it on.
