Swine Flu Vaccinations for children aged over six months and under five years - UPDATE(10/02/10)
We have sent out further letters over the last few days to the parents of all children aged 6 months to 5 years who have yet to be immunised with swine flu vaccine. Although it seems not to have caused major problems there are still concerns as Fergus Walsh writes:
So has swine flu gone for good? Absolutely not. There may be very few cases now, but it's likely to be back next autumn and for years to come, replacing other flu strains to become the dominant seasonal flu virus. That's why the government is recommending vaccination for everyone at risk of flu complications, plus all healthy children aged six months to under-five. Swine flu has been a very mild illness for the vast majority, but 60 children in England have died since last April. Given that this is now a vaccine-preventable illness, immunisation now should prevent the chance of them getting the virus in the future.
You can make an appointment for your child with one of our Practice Nurses.
Swine Flu Vaccinations for children aged over six months and under five years(17/12/09)
As part of the extension of the national swine flu vaccination programme we are now offering swine flu vaccinations to all children aged over six months and under five years. Babies under six months cannot be vaccinated because the flu vaccines do not produce enough of an immune response in them to provide protection. Following further research it has been found that children will now only require one dose of the vaccine except in rare cases. The majority of appointments will be available after Christmas. Please ring to make an appointment for your child with a practice nurse. See below for more information. A good source of the latest information about swine flu is Fergus on Flu on the BBC website.
Swine Flu Vaccinations Update(30/11/09)
We have set up sessions at the surgery for swine flu vaccination. Please contact the surgery to make an appointment as soon as possible if you are in the seasonal flu at-risk groups (see below). You can read more about this in the NHS swine flu vaccination leaflet*.
Swine Flu Vaccinations(13/11/09)
We have received our first batch of 500 swine flu vaccines. We are in the process of calling in people at risk to have the vaccination in priority order. If you are in one of the following groups please contact the surgery and make an appointment for your vaccination:
- People aged between six months and 65 years in the seasonal flu vaccine at-risk groups
- Pregnant women
- People who live with those whose immune systems are compromised, such as cancer patients or people with HIV/AIDS
- People aged 65 and over in the seasonal flu vaccine at-risk groups.
What are seasonal flu at-risk groups?
These are people with:
- chronic respiratory disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis and cystic fibrosis. Also included are people with severe asthma who need to continuously or repeatedly use their inhaler or take steroid medication, or who have been admitted to hospital because of their asthma,
- chronic heart disease, including heart failure, congenital heart disease, and heart disease caused by high blood pressure,
- chronic kidney disease, such as kidney failure and people who have had a kidney transplant,
- chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis,
- chronic neurological disease, such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, motor neurone disease or multiple sclerosis,
- diabetes requiring insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs, and
- immunosuppression (a suppressed immune system), due to disease or treatment. This includes people who have a damaged or no spleen, people having chemotherapy or other immunosuppressant treatment, and those on high doses of steroid medication.
More information about the swine flu vaccination can be found on the NHS Choices website. If you are in one of these groups it is also important that you have your routine seasonal flu vaccine as well.
