School age immunisations

The School Age Immunisation team comprises registered nurses and healthcare support workers dedicated to administering the national school-age immunisation programme.

How we can help

Our immunisation programmes are conducted in schools, with community clinics arranged for home-educated children and those who missed vaccinations in school. If needed, home visits can also be arranged.

We offer the following immunisations:

• HPV in school years 8
• MenACWY and Td/IPV vaccine (Diptheria, Tetanus and Polio) to all children in year 9
• Seasonal flu
• MMR catch up is also offered to adolescent children from Year 8

What to expect

1. Your child’s school will receive the date when our team will administer vaccines.
2. The school will share an electronic link to the consent form with parents for each specific vaccine.
3. Complete and return the consent form to the school before the vaccination session.
4. If digital access is unavailable, request a paper consent form from the school.
