A message from the HSE to parents

As the cold weather continues, the HSE public health division has asked us to share the following important information with our 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.

For more information, go to hse.ie/flu

Thank you for your support in keeping our school community safe.
