GPs and Pharmacies participating in the school based programme have reached out to mainstream primary schools offering to provide LAIV on-site to all year groups during the 2024/25 LAIV campaign which continues into early 2025. The LAIV campaign commenced on 7th October and those GPs and Pharmacies supporting the LAIV Schools Programme are providing LAIV onsite as planned to pupils.
GPs and Community Pharmacists are requested to provide the HSE with any updates or any further schools where they have agreed to offer LAIV on-site during the 2024/25 season , using the Schools LAIV Template (Excel, size 25 KB).
All completed forms should be returned to support the HSE in planning provision of LAIV in those primary schools not covered by GPs or Pharmacies.
