Hi Tys mum,

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I don't see why not - the flu vaccine is an inactive vaccine so it shouldn't cause any problems.

I don't think there will be any flu vaccine available at most surgeries this early in the season, though - it is made each season according to what strain they predict is going to be a problem each year.

I would check with your GP

Hope this helps

Em H

as far as i know yes but ty should be offered the 2nd mmr as well at this time and most gp's will only give 2 vacs at same time esp with pre schoolers. the prac nurse will prob tell you to make another appt in month for the flu vac. All those Iwork with do anyway.
