Coronavirus Vaccinations for 12-15 Year Olds

Coronavirus Vaccinations for 12-15 year olds

Letters have been sent home with pupils regarding Coronavirus Vaccinations in school. Vaccinations will be offered to 12-15 Year olds in school on Wednesday 20^th October and Thursday 21^st October 2021, the vaccinations will be administered by the NHS School Nursing Team. Full information and consent forms have been given to pupils to take home and share with parents/carers. Consent forms must be returned to school by Wednesday  13^th October at the latest, indicating whether parents/carers consent or do not consent to their child receiving the vaccination. Please note that no vaccination will be given if parents/carers do not consent even if the pupil requests the vaccination. Under these circumstances a health professional will make contact with parents/carers.

Please be aware that the vaccination is only for pupils aged 12 plus on the date of the vaccination, therefore some Year 7 pupils will not be eligible for the vaccination this time. Pupils who are aged 16 plus can book a COVID Vaccination appointment via the NHS website for an appointment at a vaccination centre or pharmacy.

Further information can be found on the NHS website or you can call 0161 474 5912
