Flu can be a very unpleasant illness in children causing fever, stuffy nose, dry cough, sore throat, aching muscles and joints, and extreme tiredness. This can last several days or more.

Having the flu vaccine will protect your child from what can be a very nasty illness in children, and will reduce the chance of others in your family getting flu from your child. This year, helping to protect your family against flu is particularly important as COVID-19 is still circulating.

SAIS (School Aged Immunisation Team) are visiting Burford Primary School on Thursday 4 November 2021. To ensure your child is included in the vaccination programme, you will have to complete a consent form for each child. Please copy the following link into your web browser to access this form:

Please do not hesitate to contact the school office, tel: 0115 915 1560, if you would like further information or guidance.
