The HSE have extended availability of the seasonal flu vaccine to now include all children between the ages of two and seventeen inclusive.
The vaccine is a safe, quick and painless nasal spray. As well as protecting the young people themselves, it is also an important way to protect more vulnerable people that they may come into contact, which is especially likely around Christmas time.
The vaccine is free of charge for all children in this age range. A walk-in service is available on Monday and Wednesday afternoons during December or on other days by appointment. Call 0719648043 for more information.
