Immunisation sessions in school

DTP and MenACWY /MMR

All S3 pupils have been offered the DTP and MenACWY vaccine- consent forms have been issued by Tutor teachers and some pupils in S4/5/6 who were not immunised last year have also received consent forms.

Immunisations will take place on Monday 27th February, but the consent forms need to be returned by 19 Jan.

Any pupil in S3 who does not receive a letter from their Tutor teacher, or any S4/5/6 pupils who has not yet been immunised please come to the Medical room where we can arrange to get you a consent form.

Please return completed forms to Tutor teachers by Thursday 19^th Jan. This applies whether or not you will be immunised. 

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.
