Flu Immunisations - Reception to Year 6.

Dear Parent/Carer/Guardian,

Flu has had a serious impact on the health of England’s population over the past two winters. Vaccinating your child helps reduce the risk of serious illness and plays an important role in protecting vulnerable individuals in your community, friends and family.

Our team will be visiting your child’s school on Friday 14th November and Friday 21st November to offer the flu vaccine. You can choose between the quick, painless nasal spray or a pork gelatine-free injection. Please ensure that your child eats breakfast on the day.

For further information about the vaccines, please read the attached E-consent letter. Alternatively, click here https://eastanglia.schoolvaccination.uk/flu/2025/Essex. The form is available in 10 languages— select yours when it opens.

If you do not wish your child to be vaccinated, please submit a decline via the same link to avoid further contact from our team. Please note that if you have had a Flu vaccine for your child by your GP since September2025, please let us know.

Note: School aged children cannot receive this vaccination with their GP unless they are clinically vulnerable.

Please do not contact the school directly as they will be unable to answer any questions, contact details for the team are on the cover letter.

Kind Regards

Essex Vaccination Team
