National advice on flu vaccine given to children and young people

Children with cochlear implants can be vaccinated safely with LAIV (Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine) although ideally not in the week prior to implant surgery or for two weeks afterwards, or if there is evidence of on-going cerebrospinal fluid leak.

This will be added to Influenza Green book chapter (1991).
