Influenza vaccinations for children aged from 6 months to 6 years
Influenza vaccinations for children aged from 6 months to 6 years
Children between 6 months and 6 years of age and the parents of children under 6 months of age receive an influenza vaccination either in connection with their own child health clinic appointment, at an vaccination appointment booked for the clinic separately, or at influenza vaccination events organised at child health clinics. Please check the details of your municipality of residence, as the practices vary from region to region.
The vaccine is a VaxigripTetra influenza vaccine administered as an injection. Alternatively, FluenzTetra nasal spray vaccine may be administered to children aged from 2 to 6 years.
If you have questions about vaccinations or want to give feedback, please contact the health centre in your municipality of residence. Alternatively, you can also contact us through our feedback form.
Vaccination of a minor child requires the consent of the parents, if the child is not capable of making the decision himself/herself. If the consent to vaccination has been given previously, influenza vaccination does not require a new consent to vaccination.
- A child who has not received an influenza vaccine before will need two (2) injected doses of the influenza vaccine this year. The interval between the first and second dose should be at least four (4) weeks.
- A child who has received only one injected dose of the vaccine will need two (2) injected doses of the influenza vaccine this year.
- If a child has previously received a total of two (2) doses of any influenza vaccine or one (1) dose of nasal spray vaccine, only one (1) dose is now sufficient. This applies also if the doses have been administered during different influenza seasons.
- If a child has received one (1) dose of nasal spray vaccine, only one (1) dose is now sufficient.
A second dose (2) may be administered when at least four (4) weeks have passed after the previous dose.
If the egg allergy is mild or regular, and your child has not had a serious allergic reaction to egg, he/she may be vaccinated against influenza normally at the child health clinic or at school. Influenza vaccinations are recommended for children aged from 6 months to 6 years as well as for people at risk of serious influenza complications and the people close to them.
If your child has had a life-threatening reaction to egg in the past and has an adrenaline pen in use in case of a severe reaction, he/she may be vaccinated against influenza, but the vaccination is carried out in outpatient settings and there is a two-hour follow-up period after the vaccination.
