Free Kids Flu Vaccination

 

Children between the ages of 2 and 17 years can get the nasal flu vaccine for free.

Why children should get the flu vaccine?

The flu vaccine helps to protect children against flu.

Most children who get the flu have mild symptoms. But children and young people with long-term health conditions are at risk of serious complications from flu.

In some children, flu can lead to serious problems such as:

• pneumonia
• bronchitis
• inflammation of the brain (encephalitis)

Children with these complications may need hospital treatment. Some may need intensive care.

In the last 10 years in Ireland, almost 5,000 children were admitted to hospital with complications of flu. Almost 200 children had treatment in intensive care and 40 children died.
