Are your child’s vaccines up to date?
Some important information from the NHS to help you stay well this winter.
The flu vaccine helps protect against flu, which can be a serious or life-threatening illness. It’s offered on the NHS every year in autumn or early winter to people at higher risk of getting seriously ill from flu.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds. It usually gets better by itself, but it can be serious for some babies and older adults. A vaccine is available for those at risk from 1 September.
