Head
Lice are very common in schoolchildren.
Contrary to popular belief they prefer clean
hair and are not a sign of poor personal
hygiene. Their short life cycle and rapid
breeding has allowed recent generations
to develop strong resistance to chemical
shampoo treatments.
We recommend trying a chemical
lotion from your pharmacist in the first
instance, combined with regular daily combing
with a nit-comb or stiff bristle brush after
washing the hair to damage nits which should
prevent them laying eggs and multiplying.
A limited number of Seasonal Flu vaccines are stil available for over 65's and at risk groups. Swine Flu vaccines are still available for at risk groups.
