Child Flu Vaccine Information
As the colder months approach, flu can spread easily among children—causing illness that may lead to missed school days, doctor’s visits, or worse. But there’s good news: the free childhood flu vaccine helps protect your child, as well as your family and community.
Why Vaccinate?
Reduces the chance of your child getting flu, which can be serious—sometimes leading to hospitalization.
Helps prevent spread to vulnerable people (e.g., babies, older relatives, or those with weak immune systems).
Easier and more comfortable than you might think—no injection needed for many children, just the nasal spray
- The spray contains a weakened (live attenuated) flu virus. It helps your child build immunity without causing full illness.
For most children, the vaccine is offered as a nasal spray (Fluenz), which is quick, gentle and doesn’t involve a needle.
