Flu is caused by a virus. It can be a very unpleasant illness for children. It can also lead to serious problems, such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in November 1971, this poignant print takes us back to Winchester College, Hampshire, where pupils anxiously lined up for their flu vaccinations. The image portrays a young student receiving his jab from a medical assistant wielding a large injection needle. Their expressions reveal a mix of anticipation, worry, and fear as they brace themselves for the prick that could protect them from the influenza virus. Fast forward to December 2020, and we find that flu vaccines are now offered annually as nasal sprays to children. This preventive measure aims to shield youngsters from the unpleasantness of flu while also safeguarding vulnerable individuals like babies and older adults who are more susceptible to its complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Flu is caused by a virus that easily spreads among children. By vaccinating them against it, not only do we alleviate their suffering but also contribute towards reducing the transmission within communities. As Cassidy and Leigh's photograph reminds us, protecting our youth through immunization has always been vital in maintaining public health. This snapshot serves as an important reminder of how far we have come in our efforts to combat influenza over the decades. It highlights both the progress made in vaccine development and administration techniques while underscoring the enduring importance of prioritizing preventative measures for contagious diseases.
