Children’s Flu Clinic 2024

Protecting Children from Reception to Year 11

As the leaves begin to turn and the air grows crisp, we’re reminded that flu season is just around the corner. To help keep our community’s children healthy and resilient, we’re excited to announce our upcoming Children’s Flu Immunisation Clinic.

Event Details

  • Date: Saturday, 19 October 2024
  • Time: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
  • Location: Greenbank Masjid
  • Eligibility: Children aged 2-16 years

Why Flu Immunisation Matters

Influenza isn’t just a common cold—it can lead to serious complications, especially in young children. By immunising your child, you’re not only protecting them but also:

  • Supporting their education by reducing sick days
  • Helping to prevent the spread of flu in our community
  • Easing the burden on our NHS during the busy winter months

What to Expect

Our clinic will be offering gelatine-free flu immunisations in the form of injections. These are safe, effective, and have been specially formulated to be suitable for children from diverse dietary backgrounds.

How to Participate

We’re offering two convenient options:

  1. Drop-in: Feel free to stop by during the clinic hours. No appointment necessary!
  2. Book in advance: Secure your slot and reduce waiting time by booking online.
