To help raise awareness of the child flu vaccine, Public Health Scotland has developed a social media toolkit with approved assets and captions for nurseries, primary and secondary schools, Health Boards and other stakeholders to share on your social media channels.

• Click here to download the social media assets. You’ll be able to download these for Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, depending what social media platforms your school uses.
• Click here to view the social media toolkit. You’ll see wording which can be posted alongside the asset on your chosen social media platform to announce when consent forms have been sent and encourage returns by your deadline.

We hope you can share these assets on your social media channels and use the hashtag #ChildFluScot.

There is also a range of resources on the Public Health Scotland website including:

• a briefing for teachers to support the delivery of the flu vaccine in your school and prepare pupils for it.
• videos that can be shown to pupils before their vaccine (including our ‘it’s just a wee scoosh” video suitable for nursery and primary school aged children).
• templates to emails and texts for you to use to communicate directly with parents/carers.

Please don’t forward this email on to parents or carers.
