Flu Vaccination for Healthy Primary and Secondary School Children

• The school immunisation team is leading on vaccinations of healthy school children in County Durham.
• This team has organised a date to visit each school in the County to administer the flu vaccination (to give the nasal vaccine in most cases).
• If a child misses this visit, or are home-schooled, the school immunisation team will also be planning additional community clinics.
• For queries about the schools flu vaccination programme in County Durham, contact the school initially or email the school immunisation team directly at [email protected].
• Do not contact the GP practice about flu vaccines for healthy children in this age group – At present GP practices are only able to vaccinate children in a high risk group or who live with someone who is more likely to get infections.
