About the vaccines

The nasal flu vaccine offers best protection against flu. It is given as a spray squirted up each nostril. It's quick and painless.

For some children the nasal spray is not suitable for medical reasons. The nasal vaccine contains traces of a highly processed form of porcine gelatine.

The injection is given into the muscle in the upper arm, which may cause soreness. This vaccine is offered as an alternative if the nasal spray is not suitable due to medical reasons.  This vaccine does not contain porcine gelatine.
