Flu vaccination 2 years to 10 years

The flu vaccination is a quick and simple nose spray that works the same as a flu jab. Having the flu spray will stop the spread. Older people and those with illnesses are most at risk if they catch flu from young people. Flu changes all the time, so even if you have had it last year it is vital you have it again this year.
