Toddlers will be able to get the free NHS nasal flu spray in pharmacies for the first time under plans to increase uptake. But now almost 4,000 pharmacies in England have signed up to deliver the spray, offering parents more choice. Between 2024/25 some 42.6% of two and three-year-olds took up the offer of the nasal spray, a slight decrease compared to 2023/24. Some 1.2 million toddlers are eligible for the free nasal spray. Most children are given a nasal spray, but some can opt for an injection instead.
