Parents and carers of children aged two to five are being reminded that it’s not too late to make sure their youngsters are protected against flu.
NHS Lanarkshire says all appointments for that age group, for children who are not yet in school, have now been issued but parents/carers who may have missed appointments can contact their local team to arrange vaccination.
Maureen Dearie, locality manager, South Lanarkshire Health and Social Care Partnership, said: “All appointments for the two to five age group have now been issued and we have also held a number of drop-in clinics.
"However, there’s still time to get your child vaccinated as we are all out and about more and immunity levels may be lower this year.
“Whether you didn’t receive an appointment letter, you couldn’t make a drop-in clinic or have changed your mind, it doesn’t matter. You can contact your local team who will arrange your child’s vaccination.”
People are being asked contact the team in the area they live and staff will make arrangements. Children must be aged two years or older on September 1, 2021 to be eligible.
