Dear parent or guardian,

It’s very important to protect your child from flu to make sure they stay as healthy as possible, as both COVID-19 and flu are likely to circulate this winter. The best flu vaccine for most children is a nasal spray. This is the vaccine that will be given on the day. 

We have included flu vaccination information and a consent form with this letter.To help make sure the vaccine is suitable for your child, and they don’t miss out, please take time to read the information and thencomplete online before the planned vaccination date.

If you want more information about flu vaccination for children, please contact the immunisation team, or visit phw.nhs.wales/fluvaccineor click on the PDF attachments.

Please keep this letter, as it contains the date of the vaccination session and contact details.

Yours faithfully
