Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the common infections that cause coughs and colds in winter.

RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis in children aged under 2 years old.

Most cases are not serious and clear up within two to three weeks, but the symptoms can be very worrying for parents.

If you have any concerns, contact your health visiting team or GP.

For more information on RSV and bronchiolitis head over to our Winter Wellness Hub on HealthforUnder5s!

Our school aged immunisation service (SAIS) is putting on several catch-up clinics over the Christmas and New Year break for children and young people who did not have a nasal or injectable flu vaccination when the service visited their school during the autumn term.

The clinics are being held on the following dates:

- Monday 22 December 2025: Elizabeth Park Centre, Elizabeth Park Sports Centre, Checkland Rd, Thurmaston, Leicester LE4 8FN, from 9am – 3pm

- Tuesday 23 December 2025: Emmanuel Church Hall, 47 Forest Rd, Loughborough, LE11 3NW, from 9am – 2pm

- Monday 29 December 2025: Elizabeth Park Centre, Elizabeth Park Sports Centre, Checkland Rd, Thurmaston, Leicester LE4 8FN, from 9am – 3pm

- Friday 2 January 2025: Hynca Lodge, St Francis Close, Hinckley, LE10 0EW, from 9am – 2pm

- Saturday 3 January 2025: Elizabeth Park Centre, Elizabeth Park Sports Centre, Checkland Rd, Thurmaston, Leicester LE4 8FN, from 9am – 3pm.

Service manager, Marie, said: “We have two vaccinations available; either the flu nasal spray, which is given as a quick and painless sq**rt up each nostril – and which offers the best protection against flu for children and young people, or the injectable flu vaccine, which is available if the nasal flu vaccine isn’t suitable for the child. The injectable flu vaccine is also pork-gelatine free.

“The vaccine is very quick and most children will not get any side effects – and if they do, they will usually be mild and only last a few days. Our team are very friendly and experienced. They will do everything they can to make sure children feel comfortable and supported while they have the vaccine.”

To book an appointment at a catch-up clinic contact the school aged immunisation service on 0300 3000 007 or email lpt.sais@nhs.net .

Please note that detailed information about the flu vaccines on offer was sent directly to parents and carers via text or email.
