Our top tips for keeping your children well over winter.
• Get their jabs.
Ensuring your child is up to date with immunisations helps to protect them against illnesses such as measles, meningitis, whooping cough, RSV and flu.
Vaccines can be given in specialist clinics, at GP practices or at school. The School Aged Immunisation Service is currently offering all children and young people in primary, secondary and special schools a free flu vaccine – more information has been sent directly to parents and carers.

It’s important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection, but if you or your child have missed a vaccine, contact your GP to catch up.
