Some children may develop mild cold-like symptoms in the days after, but it will mean they are protected against catching the flu this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nasal spray is the most effective protection for children; it has been given to millions worldwide and has an excellent safety record. Any children who may be nervous of being vaccinated can be booked into a clinic outside of school time to attend with their parents. The team is also offering the flu injection at these clinics for those who cannot have the nasal spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saiqa Kauser, Clinical Manager for Immunisations at Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust, said: \u201cNot only will the flu vaccination protect our children from catching flu, but it will also help to prevent it\u2019s spread and therefore protect our family members and friends who may be more vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe number of flu cases has been lower in the past two years, but now with schools back in full swing it\u2019s important we protect as many people as possible from both the flu and Covid-19, which we can do with vaccinations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/children_flu_jab_vaccination_22-1024x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45503\"\/><figcaption>Immunisation nurses pose with children holding vaccination cards and flu vaccine promotional material at Undercliffe Health Centre, Bradford.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flu vaccination will be offered to children from reception to year six.
