Dr Breda Cosgrove, Consultant in Public Health Medicine, HSE Mid-West, described the vaccine for children as a “quick, easy, pain-free spray up the nose” and encouraged all parents of children who are not yet vaccinated to bring them to the clinic.

Dr Cosgrove said: “It’s important to be aware of the risks of flu, particularly for children, who can spread flu easily, and are returning to school this week. This simple nasal spray vaccine will protect not only your child, but also other members of your family who are vulnerable to flu, such as grandparents, babies and pregnant women.”

The children’s flu vaccine is one part of a broad HSE flu vaccination programme for all ages.
