Scientists are to begin collecting data on flu outbreaks from UK schools this winter to better understand its spread.
The Flusurvey surveillance project is in its fifth year, but for the first time classrooms are being asked to take part.
It coincides with the NHS beginning to roll out childhood flu vaccinations.
In time, the nasal spray vaccine will be available for children aged 16 and under.
This flu season it is being offered to all children aged two and three, as well as children of any age with long-term health conditions such as diabetes.
