In order to meet the national target for flu vaccination, both nasal spray vaccinations and gelatine-free injections will be available this year. Further information and a link to an online consent form will be sent out in the Autumn term. We encourage all families to take up the offer of a flu vaccination for their children.
Vaccination UK have provided the following information:
Dear Parent/Carer
The flu vaccine is being offered at your child’s school again this autumn/winter.
To given consent for your child to have the fluvaccine, please click here:
Vaccination UK Immunisation (schoolvaccination.uk)
Even if you do not wish for your child to have the vaccine, please complete the online form so that we can record your wishes.
You only need to complete one consent form for each child. If you later change your mind, please call your local team. If your child has this immunisation elsewhere after you have submitted the consent form, you MUST inform Vaccination UK rather than the school.
We understand that you may have questions about the vaccine. For more information, please go to our website, where you can find a list of FAQ’s, as well as details of our community catch up clinics.
You can also find informational videos on our YouTube channel, including subtitled versions for other languages.
Yours Faithfully, Your Local Immunisation Team Vaccination UK
