Seasonal flu immunisation
This year’s flu vaccine is identical to last year’s which has been given to millions of children and adults without significant side effects.
I wholeheartedly recommend it for all children over 6 months of age.
If your child had two flu immunisations last year then he only needs one dose this year.
If not then he should have 2 doses separated buy at least four weeks.
- Seasonal flu immunisation appointments available from the first week of October 2011
- I recommend to all children from the age of 6 m and upwards
- Will need 2 doses separated by 2 m if first time
- Can do parents and other members of family at same time
Childhood obesity
Continues to be a much discussed issue
Worries that two much concern by teachers may have led to the increase in the cases of anorexia in preschool children
By direct and indirect (bullying) mechanisms
Many parents are concerned that their child’s picky eating may be an early sign of anorexia nervosa – if they still indulge in junk food then it is not.
Please contact me on 02072244668 or richard@healthychild.co.uk if you have any concerns.
