All school-aged children eligible for free flu vaccine this winter

/in Education, Health, Village News/by

All primary and secondary school-aged children in England will be offered a free flu vaccine from September for the 2023 to 2024 season, alongside younger children aged two and three years old.

Earlier this year the Government announced that all primary school children and infants aged two and three years old will be offered the flu vaccine. Now it has been confirmed that the programme will expand to pupils in secondary school years 7 to 11, who will be offered the vaccine as a nasal spray through their school’s vaccination programme from Friday 1 September.

It means that pupils receiving the vaccine will have direct protection from the flu. More vulnerable groups will also be indirectly protected by reducing the spread of the virus.

Anyone eligible for the flu vaccine is encouraged to take up the offer from September before the flu season begins, to give themselves the best possible protection in winter and reduce the spread of the virus.

Help with Children’s Education

The following people have very generously offered to help and advise on education issues:

Primary School:

Clare – (primary school teacher) clarebalm@gmail.com 0771 7183096 or 810663.
I am happy to help children R-Y6 (or their parents) with questions, resources or ideas by telephone or email.

Linzi – ( primary school teacher) linzimpearce@gmail.com 07583 065200

Secondary School:

Annie – (secondary school) anniebobco@aol.com  07970 704556  
I understand that teachers will be sending work home and publishing online resources. Many parents may find the terminology daunting, and I do understand how many will be unable to help children with school work they have not seen since they left school.  I would therefore like to make myself available for parents to give help to their children in completing tasks. 

Ellen – (secondary school) mrsejthomas@gmail.com o7807 171584  or 810726
I’m a secondary School English teacher, specialising KS3 and GCSE but qualified to A Level so can probably help with that too if needed. English is my subject area and we tend to be very specialised in secondary, so I won’t be much help with maths for instance! However, I’ve got a very good network of secondary teaching friends across all subjects, so if I don’t know, I probably know someone who does! (Email contact is probably best.)
