If you’re feeling unwell, please help us protect vulnerable patients and our staff by not visiting your loved ones in hospital.

Flu isn’t just a sniffle – it can lead to serious illness, especially in young children.

Kids are known as "super spreaders" – they catch and pass on flu easily, often bringing it home to grandparents or younger siblings.

🛡️ The good news? The NHS flu vaccine is free, quick and needle-free (just a nasal spray!)

✅ For 2 & 3 year olds – book with their GP

✅ For school-aged children – return the school consent form ASAP

🧒 Protect your child. 👵 Protect your family. 💙 Protect Cornwall.
