Schoolchildren, tots and care home workers offered flu 'vaccines' in extended winter 2020 programme

In Ireland, year eight school children and care home staff are among those eligible for a flu vaccine under this year’s extended programme. Parents are also being urged to have children aged two and over as of September 1 vaccinated as small children don’t always cover their mouths and noses when coughing or sneezing and are viewed a super spreaders. The kids vaccine comes in the form of a quick and painless nose spray - which will be delivered at the GPs for toddlers and in school for year eights.
