Headteacher on state pressuring parents to have children given the flu vaccine even when they have said no

The nursing team questioned whether the school cared about the children’s health and quizzed the process we went through. Apparently it’s in the school’s best interest to have as many children vaccinated as possible…… tell that to the children who were meant to be vaccinated. Clearly the low number of children wasn’t financially worth it….
