Have you had an injection with a Botox-like product since 1 May?
If so and if you live in County Durham, you can act now to potentially help prevent people from getting sick.

Children from Selby Cottage Childcare Centre had their flu nasal spray vaccine this week. We're working with our NHS partners to roll out this programme to offer flu vaccines to every two and three year old in County Durham.
It is being delivered in 30 nurseries and through six community walk-in sessions at our County Durham Family Hubs. The sessions allow children to receive the nasal spray vaccination without the need to book a GP appointment. #fluvaccine #countydurham
