00:00It's very important that children are protected from flu to help the whole community.
00:04It's not just the children, it's everybody else around.
00:06So it's the parents, grandparents, family members, the rest of the school members and the staff.
00:12And because you could go home and give it to somebody that's immunocompromised,
00:17that could be really poorly, because flu is quite nasty.
00:21And so if you can protect everybody, it will have a much better effect on the community at large,
00:27not just within the schools themselves.
00:29The nasal spray is very easy to deliver to the children.
00:32It's very quick, it's less traumatic, and yeah, it hasn't got very many side effects.
00:39You can feel a little bit, as though you've got a runny nose, a bit of headache, a bit of tiredness.
00:44Carry on as normal afterwards, but if they need a little bit of Calpol or paracetamol, they can do.
00:49If the children do get flu, unfortunately, they can be really quite poorly,
00:55if they've not had the immunisation or the vaccination prior to this.
00:58We have huge numbers going into the hospital halls that are really poorly.
01:02And this obviously has a knock-on effect again, because parents have to have time off work to be with them.
01:06The children can be poorly for quite a long time.
01:10I can't stress how much they can be ill, and it's so much easier just to have a vaccination.
