Each year thousands of children with no health conditions end up in hospital with flu.

Flu can be much more than a bad cold for children and can sometimes lead to serious problems such as pneumonia.

Children can also spread flu easily to babies, grandparents and other people who may become seriously ill. That’s why it’s important to top up your child’s protection this autumn.

The free NHS children’s flu vaccine helps protect your child and the people around them.

If your child is aged 2 or 3:
Contact your child’s GP surgery or book through a participating pharmacy.

Reception to Year 11:
Look out for the flu vaccination message from your child’s school and complete the consent form when asked.

For most children, the vaccination is given as a quick nasal spray. If the nasal spray isn’t right for your child there’s an alternative available.

Happy Rosh Hashanah to our colleagues and residents celebrating across north east London!

Today marks the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

For those celebrating, it’s a time for reflection, renewal and hope for the year ahead, often spent with family, friends and community.

Many people will gather for festive meals and share traditional foods such as apples dipped in honey to symbolise a sweet new year.

Shanah Tovah to all who are celebrating. We wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year. ✨

🎓 Know someone starting university this autumn?

Make sure vaccinations are on their to-do list before they head off.

Being around lots of new people in university increases the risk of infectious diseases spreading. Getting vaccinated before they go means they can build up protection before they arrive.

💉 They should check they’re up to date with their NHS vaccinations:

• MenB: 2 doses are needed for protection
• MenACWY: 1 dose
• MMR: 2 doses
• HPV: 1 dose
• Td/IPV: check they’re up to date

Eligible students will be offered the MenB vaccine this year, including under-25s starting university or some further education colleges for the first time.

Not sure what vaccines they’ve had? Their GP practice can check their vaccination record and confirm any catch-up vaccinations needed.
