Flu Vaccination
The Children’s Immunisation Team will be visiting the school on Tuesday 15th November 2022
Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccination (Flu Nasal spray) – Reception to Year 6 children
Flu can be an unpleasant illness and can cause serious complications. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable family and friends by preventing the spread of flu.

Vaccination information and consent forms
We would be grateful if you could complete the e-consent form for the vaccination as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours before the school session (date above).

Public Health England have a duty to protect the public from disease and this includes providing vaccination services which are fulfilled by NHS England working with Local Authorities and schools. This duty allows schools to share basic contact information with NHS England so they can monitor who has and who has not had a vaccination.
Whilst we strongly recommend every child has their vaccinations, we will not do so without the appropriate consent for each.
If you experience any problems accessing the forms, please telephone 0208 702 3499 and the team will be happy to help.
The information provided on the submitted form will be securely held on the child’s electronic health record until they are 25 years old.
