What the service does
The school vaccination team offers protection to children and young people through immunisations delivered in school-based clinics.
During the autumn school term, the flu vaccine is given to children by a nasal spray. The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is also offered to all pupils in year 9 during this term. HPV can cause cervical cancer and some other cancers.
From January to Easter, young people in year 11 are offered:
- protection against meningitis ACWY virus, which can cause meningitis and septicaemia
- a booster vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and polio
- the opportunity to catch up on the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine
How to access the service
All parents will receive an information pack and consent form through their child’s school.
You should complete the form, sign it and return it to the school before your child receives any vaccines.
