Winter is Here! And with it comes the “cold and flu” season! A season that is a challenge for all of us! BUT for children under two years, especially infants and those who were born early or are medically fragile, (congenital heart disease, chronic lung disease or specific respiratory or immune conditions) they are at a significant increased risk of being admitted to hospital should they become ill.

We'll have on hand a nurse to answer your questions but there is no formal presentation.

We'll be celebrating World Prematurity Day early, which is Nov 17 so wear purle
