  1. Protect your child: The vaccine will help protect your child against flu and serious complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia
  2. Protect you, your family and friends: Vaccinating your child will help protect more vulnerable friends and family
  3. No injection needed: The nasal spray is painless and easy to have
  4. It's better than having flu: The nasal spray helps protect against flu, has been given to millions of children worldwide and has an excellent safety record
  5. Avoid costs: If your child gets flu, you may have to take time off work or arrange alternative childcare

Most children have the nasal spray vaccine which is the preferred vaccine. A vaccine injection is also available which does not contain gelatine from pigs (porcine gelatine).
