It's Monday and Jen is over at Bluebell Wood to deliver paediatric first aid to nursery staff who want to ensure that they're up to date with all the latest techniques and information.

The team have already done half of their training to meet the requirements of Ofsted but today we're in person, complete with manikins to put those skills into practice 💚

This month, the Government launched a chickenpox vaccination programme in England, which aims to protect around half a million children each year

GP practices will offer eligible children a combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) - the clinical term for chickenpox - as part of the routine infant vaccination schedule.

According to Government research, chickenpox in childhood results in an estimated £24 million in parental lost income and productivity every year in the UK, so it's hoped that the vaccine will mean children miss fewer days in nursery and school, so parents will not need to take time off work to care for them.

Lots more information on the vaccine can be found at the link in the comments. Please see your GP to check if your child is eligible and to discuss any concerns you may have.
