Arnica UK has worked on a leaflet about the 'Fluenz', the nasal spray administered in a primary school setting. Arnica UK's main objections are because it is genetically modified and it sheds, so can transmit disease to others including those who didn't consent or those not medically able to have a live vaccine. It has been withdrawn in the US for lack of efficacy by the way.
Arnica UK hope this helps you to be more informed and also helps with any communication with your primary school. Arnica UK have found that this year schools have authorised more absence than last year which is good but it needs to be all schools. Arnica UK feel that any cautious parent wishing to remove their child from school on the day of the 'Fluenz' and 3 days afterwards should be respected and this absence authorised.
Arnica UK will be emailing every school in England and Wales about this and trusts that you will be sharing your concerns too.
