Year 8 HPV Vaccinations, Autumn 2024
Below is a letter we have been asked to share by the School Health Immunisation Team
Dear parents and carers,
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination.
The School Health Immunisation Team will be visiting your child’s school to offer HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccination.
The HPV vaccine is offered to all young people in year 8. Evidence shows the HPV vaccine protects boys and girls from HPV related cancers. The vaccine protects against cervical cancer, mouth and throat cancers and cancers of the anus and genital areas.
Please click on the link below to complete the consent form.
Please make sure that you submit the consent form ASAP to ensure your child receives their vaccine. It is important that you complete the form, even if you do not want your child to receive the vaccine.
If the consent form is not returned, we will not take this as a refusal. A telephone call may be made to you to obtain your consent, or your child may be asked directly if they wish to consent for the vaccine themselves.
If unable to complete the form online or you have any questions, please contact the School Health Immunisation Team on 07973 698 166.
A paper consent can be sent to you if required.
Yours sincerely
School Health Immunisation Team
