Who we are
Our team is made up of professionals who are highly skilled and experienced in giving vaccinations to school aged children. The school age vaccination programme is routinely delivered within schools.
What we do
It’s important to protect your children against a number of dangerous infectious diseases.
The national vaccination programme means that diseases like polio have disappeared in the UK – this is only possible by maintaining the high vaccination rates for children and young people across our local communities.
Our team follows the national vaccination programme and offer vaccinations to protect against:
- Flu
- Meningococcal ACWY
- School leavers booster of Diphtheria
- Tetanus and Polio (Td/IPV)
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
- MMR as required
Consenting to your child’s vaccinations
Parents and carers complete an online form to consent to their child’s school age vaccinations. Children of secondary school age may be able to give their own consent for the immunisation if they can demonstrate they fully understand the benefits and risks.
e-consent forms are available below. When completing the form please add your child’s school code.
