HPV Immunisations

All S1 pupils and all S2 pupils will have the opportunity to receive their HPV immunisation on Wed 20^th April.

S1 pupils were issued with consent forms in January; all S2 pupils and some S3 pupils who received their first dose of the HPV vaccination last year will  receive their follow up dose, but as their consent forms were completed last year and are still valid they did not receive a letter this time.

Similarly, if a pupil was absent last year, but a consent form was returned to the Immunisation team, this consent is still valid and they should attend at the time allocated to their class.

If any pupils have any queries or concerns, please ask them to come to the medical room to speak to us.

We do understand that some young people may be anxious about receiving a vaccination in school. The NHS staff who come in work in schools all the time and are always  brilliant at working with our pupils and reassuring them if they are at all worried.

However if you forsee a real difficulty for your young person, or if there is a medical reason why they would be better with different arrangements, please get in touch.
