Asthma affects 1 in 11 children in the UK, making it the most common long‑term childhood condition. The good news is that with the right care, most children can live full, active lives.
A few key things parents and carers should know:
✅ A personalised asthma action plan can really help — but fewer than 1 in 4 children currently have one
✅ Preventer inhalers need to be used every day, even when your child seems well
✅ Common triggers include colds, cold weather, pollen, pets and cigarette smoke
✅ If a blue reliever inhaler is needed more than 3 times a week, it’s time for a review with your GP or asthma nurse
If you’d like support, speak to your health visitor, school nurse or GP.
🔗 asthma.org.uk has lots of helpful information for families.

If you are over 75 or immunosuppressed, the COVID-19 spring booster can protect you from getting seriously ill💚

Like all medicines, vaccines can cause side effects such as:

• tired
• headache

Most side effects are mild, only last a day or two and not everyone gets them.

Speak to your GP or pharmacist or search 🔎 ‘NHS COVID-19 vaccine’ for more details.
