Could you be eligible for the NHS RSV vaccine? 🛡️💉

Respiratory syncytial virus, better known as RSV, is a common virus that circulates during the winter months. While most infections are mild, RSV can cause serious illness in newborn babies and older adults. The vaccine helps protect those most at risk from becoming seriously unwell.

Coughs and colds are common this time of year and spread easily. Catching your coughs and sneezes in a tissue and making sure you wash your hands afterwards helps to prevent the spread.

Pumpkin carving is a great Halloween tradition. But if your child isn’t old enough to handle a sharp knife safely you can use pens, stickers, paint or glitter to decorate your pumpkin without making a scratch.

Just search for “no-carve pumpkin ideas” and you’ll find lots of creative ways to transform yours.

We’d love to see your pumpkin creations. Please share them with us.
