The poster below tells you how to find out more and respond to the consultation.
Children aged between 2 and 10 years old will be offered the nasal spray vaccination. The adult flu vaccine is offered free to those in groups at particular risk of infection and complications from flu. The groups being offered the adult flu vaccine are:
GP surgeries are also testing atrial fibrillation in patients over the age of 65. Although flu vaccinations are available from other outlets it is only GP surgeries who are offering the additional check for abnormal heart rates at the same time.
In addition to the atrial fibrillation and flu vaccination applicable patients are able to receive Pneumococcal vaccines protecting patients against the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. The vaccine can prevent some cases of pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. A pneumococcal infection can affect anyone. However, some people are at higher risk of serious illness and can be given the pneumococcal vaccination on the NHS.
A previous pilot programme showed vaccinating children had dual benefit; as well as protecting them from flu, it also protects others, such as parents, grandparents and siblings, as children are ‘super spreaders’ and are much more likely to infect others.
If you are not amongst the eligible categories to receive a flu vaccination free of charge on the NHS, please consider visiting a local pharmacy for the vaccine in order to protect yourself and your family this winter.
Please see below copies of Norfolk County and South Norfolk District Councillor Vic Thomson’s reports in full.

There are a range of activities to participate in – painting, clay modelling, mud cookery, rope climbing, sharing a story, natural crafts and den building – as well as activities inspired or provided by the weather and changing seasons. If you like exploring undisturbed, the tranquil environment and relaxed atmosphere lend themselves perfectly to quiet wandering. We gather around the fire for elevenses.

Dress for the weather. We would advise bringing waterproofs for little ones so they can fully immerse themseves. Clothes that cover the whole body are also advised to protect from insects.
