Numbers of cases of swine flu in Ireland are now thankfully very low. Until March 31st 2010, we will be continuing to vaccinate schoolchildren and any members of the public who wish to have their free swine flu vaccine. Pregnant women are also still advised to be vaccinated. This is important, as in previous pandemics there have been second waves of the flu, and also it is very likely that swine flu will circulate again in the coming autumn/winter. The information on this site has been updated to give you information on the swine flu vaccine and how you can get it. We also provide simple information on managing colds and flu at home.
