Hi all,
So, people with underlying health problems who would normally be offered a flu jab should self isolate from the weekend.
My son is 17, so considered a child, and has moderately severe asthma. Usually needs 2 courses of oral steroids a year, occasional nebuliser, the usual preventor and relieving inhalers.
He had the nasal spray rather than the injection because he's classed as a child.
I'm unsure whether he is in the category to self isolate. Has anyone seen any info on this please.
He's currently on doubled-up preventor as peak flow is in that area of his treatment plan.
Thanks!

Seen nothing on children at all. Wish I had I have a 12 year old who got a flu jab simply beacuse of a brown inhaler over the winter.
