School Code: EE137065

Does the nasal spray contain porcine?

Yes, but it is a very purified version which is barely detectable and because it is for medical purposes, it has been deemed permissible for use by the British Fatwa Council. We can offer an injectable vaccine alternative that DOES NOT contain porcine. This vaccine is only administered in those that require it for medical or cultural purposes.

After submitting consent, if your child attends the GP for the vaccination, you change your mind or if there are any health changes, you MUST contact us on the number above.  (Please note that GP practices do not routinely offer Flu vaccinations to healthy children)

Providing you enter a correct email address, you will receive email confirmation when your child has received their vaccination, including information and advice about common side effects your child may experience.

Support in accessing or completing a form: If you experience any problems accessing or completing the online form, please contact us on the above telephone number and our team will be happy to help.
