About the vaccine.
Children aged 2 to 17 can receive the nasal flu vaccine free of charge. The vaccine is given as a spray in the nose, with the vaccinator spraying once into each nostril.
The flu vaccine helps to protect children against flu, and flu can lead to serious complications for some children, including pneumonia.
