FAQ

Can my child still be vaccinated if they have asthma?

Yes. Your child can still be vaccinated if they have asthma. Please mention it to the healthcare professional on the day of vaccination, in case of updated medical advice.

LAIV (nasal flu spray) is not recommended for children and adolescents currently experiencing an acute exacerbation of symptoms (those who have had increased wheezing or needed additional inhaler use in previous 72 hours). These children can delay vaccination until fit or a flu injection could be offered.

Hi, I'm Noah, 13 from Chard. I saw some stuff online saying vaccines were bad. Total rubbish! I got the MMR catch-up vaccine at school – no chips, poison weird side effects or other spooky stuff. The nurse explained how it’s been tested loads and how it keeps us all safe. Don’t believe the silly TikToks – this is proper science, and it’s dead easy!
