Children from reception to year 11 are being offered a flu vaccine.
All children from reception to year 11 in Bristol and the surrounding areas are being offered the nasal spray.
Gabriella, in year five, told BBC West: “I felt nervous, I didn’t really want it to happen. But after it happened I just felt relieved to get it over with.” Alix Towson, school immunisation lead for Sirona, said: “Sometimes the children can be a little bit worried while they’re queuing up but as soon as they’ve been through they often leave giggling and laughing and talking about how tickly it is.”The UK Health and Security Agency has warned that flu vaccine uptake in the south west dipped last winter compared to 2022-23 among vulnerable groups.
