Listen: Medway's Dr Ranj says parents should make sure children have the flu vaccine this winter - 17/10/2018

For the first time 9 and 10 year-olds in Kent are going to be offered a vaccination so they don't get flu this winter.

Children from the age of 2 up to Year 5 at school will be able to have the nasal spray to prevent them getting ill.

TV medic and current Strictly star Dr Ranj - who grew up in Medway - says many parents still confuse the flu with a nasty cold but it can lead to complications.
