The Department of Education asked us to share this information with the school community
As the cold weather continues, the HSE public health division has asked for your help in sharing the following important information with your school community:
- Flu is circulating widely in the community, with children being significantly affected.
- Please remind families that 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.

Thanks for reading everyone!
