Dear Parent/Guardian,

Dr Dunne and Nurse Kilcullen from Skreen Family Practice are undertaking a childhood flu vaccine clinic in the school on Friday 25th October.  

Detailed information on the LAIV flu vaccine including frequently asked questions is available at this link

If you would like your child to receive the nasal flu vaccine (this is a nasal spray, no needles involved) please fill in the following form.

A few points to note

1.The nasal flu vaccine contains a very small amount of ovalbumin (egg protein). The vaccine can be given to children with confirmed egg anaphylaxis or egg allergy in a primary care setting but children who have required critical care admission to hospital for a previous severe anaphylaxis to egg should be given the vaccine in a hospital setting.

2.We need your child’s PPS number in order to keep the national records up-to-date and avoid duplication. All information given will be kept in strictest confidence and in compliance with GDPR.

Any questions please email skreenfamilypractice@gmail.com
