Protect children ahead of winter with flu vaccine rollout
Over 1 million parents and carers of 2 and 3-year-olds will be urged to book their children in for a flu vaccine from next week, as the NHS ramps up its preparations for winter. The NHS is sending invitations to the group, after the jab offer for pregnant women and school children started earlier on 1 September. It’s important that those eligible come forward when they can to top up their protection ahead of winter, as immunity wanes over time and viruses change and adapt each year.
