Flu

This leaflet explains why pregnant women should receive the flu vaccine and outlines how it also protects the unborn child. It provides a range of information about the vaccine, including how to get vaccinated, how the vaccine works, how effective it is and possible side effects.

This leaflet encourages uptake of the flu vaccine for those people in at-risk groups. Most children aged 2 years up to 16 years in at risk groups will receive a nasal spray vaccine rather than an injection.
