Flu isn’t just a cold in disguise – it’s a serious illness that can:
• Cause high fever, sore throat, cough and extreme tiredness
• Lead to chest or ear infections
• In some cases, result in hospital stays for young children
Young children are particularly vulnerable, but with the nasal spray vaccine, they can fight off flu and get back to being little superheroes.
Why young children should have the nasal spray:
• Flu spreads quickly, especially among children who can pass it on to family and friends
• The nasal spray is safe, fast, and completely needle-free
• Having a child off nursery with flu can be disruptive for working parents
