The HSE has requested that we share this information with you:

As the cold weather continues, the HSE public health division would like to share the following important information with our school community:

Flu is circulating widely in the community, with children being significantly affected.

  • Anyone who is unwell should remain at home to help prevent the spread of infection.
  • Cough and sneeze etiquette, along with regular hand hygiene, are essential to limiting the spread of illness.
  • The free nasal flu vaccine for children aged 2–17 is still available through local pharmacies and GPs.
