Flu Vaccine 2017
After 6 months of age, children and adults with a complex heart disease should be offered a Flu vaccination once a year. There are now different ways to be protected –
6 months old to 2 years – injection (jab)
2 years to 17 years old – Nasal Spray
18 years old and upwards – injection (jab)
Heart children who also have a severe immune disorder, egg allergy, or those on aspirin should have the flu injection instead of the nasal spray.
