Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle (GP)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Yes, flu vaccination—I have just been looking at the Health Security Agency website about the vaccination of children against flu, and it says: “Flu can be an extremely unpleasant illness in children, with those under the age of 5 being more likely to be hospitalised due to flu than any other age group. Vaccinating children helps protect them in the first instance, so that they can stay in school”. I think it is important, given the debate around vaccination, that that is put on the record.
