Children from Wolverhampton offered catch-up flu vaccination clinics

She said it would especially protect vulnerable family members, such as grandparents or people with underlying health conditions, from becoming ill with the flu.

“The vaccination is quick and safe and also needle-free for most children as it can be given through a nasal spray rather than an injection,” she added.

“If your child has missed the vaccination at school, or if you would prefer to take them to a clinic, please make an appointment.”

Clinics will take place this Saturday at Dove Family Hub, Grangefield Close, Ryefield, from 09:00 GMT to 14:00 GMT, and on November 30 at the same times at Whitmore Reans Family Hub, Lansdowne Road.

A final catch-up clinic is planned for January 11 at Biz Space, Planetary Road, from 09:00 GMT to 14:00 GMT.
