Every secondary school pupil in England will be offered a free flu vaccine in September, the government announced today
. A total of three million pupils will be offered a nasal spray vaccination as the government bids to halt a rise in excess deaths from influenza.
“Last winter we saw the devastating impact this illness can have, so it is important all pupils take up the offer of the flu vaccine to protect themselves and their loved ones from falling unwell.” Eligible groups are being urged to take up the offer from September before the flu season begins, to give themselves the best possible protection in winter. NHS Director of Vaccinations and Screening, Steve Russell, said: “Last winter we saw how quickly flu can spread within communities, so I’m pleased to see the flu vaccination offer being extended to secondary school children in the autumn term.
