Help protect your child from flu this winter - factsheets on vaccination

Every winter, thousands of children need hospital care because of the flu. Paediatricians play a vital role to increase uptake of the flu vaccine to protect children from this virus, and to reduce winter strains on the NHS. Download our factsheet for each UK nation to share with parents and carers.

This winter, paediatricians are seeing high rates of flu cases in children and young people. To ease winter pressures on the NHS, paediatricians should take the opportunity to talk to families about the flu vaccine to protect children and young people.

Our factsheets on the flu vaccine, published for each nation in autumn 2025, aim to support paediatricians with helping families make informed decisions and take proactive steps to get their child vaccinated. Share in your clinical setting and with your networks.
