| Child Flu Vaccine | ||||||
| Flu can be serious. Even healthy children can become seriously ill with flu. That’s why the flu vaccine is offered to all preschool children aged 2 years or over and all primary and secondary school children in Scotland. | ||||||
| Getting your child vaccinated is the most effective way to reduce the risk of them getting flu and having to take time off nursery or school or spreading it to friends and family who are at greater risk this winter.
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.
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:
Please don’t forward this email on to parents or carers. For more information visit www.nhsinform.scot/childflu Your support is much appreciated. |
