Missed flu vaccinations information

18th November 2024

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The Immunisation Service have recently attended your school for the Flu vaccinations.

If you have already completed a form and your child wasn’t vaccinated in school, you will have received a separate email with clinic booking instructions and do not need to complete another form. Please refer to the ‘How do I book an appointment for my child to be vaccinated’ section in this email.

If you did not return a consent form, but would like your child to receive this vaccination, it’s not too late. Please see guidance below on how to complete an online consent form, which will re-open one working day after the school visit, and subsequently book an appointment.

How do I consent / refuse to my child having these vaccinations?
