Do pharmacies do this for children? (5 and 8)

You'll have to ask the pharmacist.

Many have policies that rule it our for under 16s. Some might do younger, but I've only ever heard of it being done for bigger children (secondary age). It might be better trying smaller independent ones, rather than the big chains.

In our area they are offering the nasal spray for all primary age children through pharmacies. It's a decision taken by public health locally. Your children will have brought leaflets home from school if this is the case for you. Not sure the policy if this is not the case in your area.

ours are being offered it at primary school. I dont think pharmacies will offer it to children

Thanks.
I'll ask in a few more pharmacies. No sign of being offered through school here unfortunately.
