FluMist is a safe and effective flu vaccine that has been used to vaccinate children across North America and Europe for many years and can be a great option for kids with a fear of needles.
The intranasal flu vaccine is not currently part of the Australian National Immunisation Program Schedule, so in some states, including Victoria, you will have to pay for your child to get it.
Some states are offering free intranasal vaccines for certain age groups, so check your state’s health department website to see if your family may be eligible.
The regular injected flu vaccine is free for all kids aged 6 months to 5 years, as well as certain high-risk groups.
If your child is over 2 years of age, check in with your doctor, pharmacist or immunisation service to see which option may be best for your child.

With children under five years one of the groups most commonly needing to stay in hospital from the flu, it’s important for all families to book in their flu vaccination every year to reduce the risk of severe infection.
Kids and teens now have the choice of either the traditional vaccine into the arm for children over six months or an intranasal flu vaccine for children aged 2 to 17 years.
All kids aged 6 months to 5 years are eligible for a free flu vaccine given as a needle, with some states offering free intranasal vaccines depending on your child’s age.
Check with your doctor, pharmacist or immunisation provider to see which flu vaccine may work best for your family.
🚨 If your child is unwell with cold and flu symptoms and has difficulty breathing, drowsiness or is not drinking well, seek medical advice immediately.

We came together with our campus partners and, as well as staff, patients and families from across the hospital to raise the flags, and join the Smoking Ceremony — led by Wurundjeri Elder Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin AO and Craig Murphy.
We later enjoyed the beautiful sounds of Didgeridoo and guitar from Ngarrindjeri/Gunditjmara musician Amos Roach.

Impetigo, also known as school sores, is a skin infection commonly seen in school-aged children, which can easily spread from one person to another.
While usually a mild infection, Impetigo won’t improve on its own, so it’s important to take your child to a doctor if you believe they may be infected. Make sure to cover sores with a dressing before you go to your doctor. Sores tends to clear up after a few days of treatment.

Together with our Melbourne Children’s Campus partners we heard from advocates across care, research and mental health about the power of lived experience.
Their stories were generous, honest and grounding, reminding us why inclusion isn’t a slogan, but a daily practice.
We heard about the impact of gender affirming care, the need to challenge unsafe expectations placed on young advocates, and the importance of centering consent and human rights in care for people with variations in sex characteristics.
Let’s continue to listen, learn and deliver inclusive care — every day, for every child and young person. 🌈 #idahobit
Mum Bryeny only held him for about 30 seconds before he was whisked away to the neonatal intensive care unit where he was intubated. Baby Patrick was struggling to breathe.
“Lifting him up almost felt like there was nothing there,” Bryeny said. “He was literally skin and bones. He was so fragile.”
Patrick spent the next three months in hospital “kicking goals”. “He was just hitting every milestone,” his Dad Tom said.
Patrick was due to go home on the week of January 27 but took a turn for the worst. He was found blue in his cot after suffering from a cardiac arrest.
After several weeks under close monitoring, Patrick was finally able to go home!
Bryeny and Tom said no words could describe how grateful they were for The Royal Children’s Hospital.
“The care, compassion and dedication they showed our little family will stay with us forever,” Bryeny said.
Patrick's full story can be read on our website 💜
