Across Mid and South Essex, families just like yours are finding reassurance through the Super Bodies campaign. Parents tell us that by keeping vaccinations up to date, using NHS advice, and knowing when to seek help, they feel more confident caring for their children during winter.
| Here’s what some local families have to say: |
| “When the school offered the flu nasal spray, it was a no-brainer to protect my boys. The leaflet explained everything clearly, and the boys were thrilled with their stickers afterwards!” — Siobhan, Essex |
| “I used to think flu was just a bad cold — until I had it myself and ended up in hospital. Getting my son vaccinated gives me peace of mind and protects others too.” — Tom, Southend |
| “Ask questions, get advice, and understand why it matters. Vaccines are here to keep your children well.” — Gill, Billericay |
Remember:
- Your child’s immune system is strong and resilient — it can often handle everyday illnesses with rest, fluids and care at home.
- Vaccines give their Super Body an extra layer of protection — check the NHS vaccination schedule.
- When you need advice, pharmacies are here to help.
We hope this series has given you practical tools and confidence. Please feel free to share these resources with friends and family – together, we can help every child’s Super Body stay strong.
