They get the vaccine at school through a nose spray.

Should have/have had it in school.

I'm in Australia and my 5yo had the flu vaccination this year.

Yes, it's the squirt nasal spray, unless there are medical reasons for the jab instead.

NHS does most school-age DC by visiting schools. Your GP should be able to arrange immunisation for DC who do not attend school or missed the visit
