School Immunisations

We offer immunisations to all pupils in year 8 and 9 through schools and community clinics.

We offer immunisations to all children and young people in schools and community settings across Leeds.

In year 9 your child will be offered their Teenage booster for TD/IPV (Diphtheria, tetanus and Polio) and Meningitis ACWY vaccinations. We also take the opportunity to check that Year 9 children are up to date with their MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccinations and offer this vaccine if they are not already up to date.

Seasonal Influenza (FLU)

The children’s flu vaccine is offered as a yearly nasal spray to nursery – Year 11 aged children to help protect them against flu. Flu can be very difficult, it is a very nasty illness that can leave you bedridden for days or weeks at a time. Protect your child and those more vulnerable surrounding your child.  An injectable porcine free alternative is also available. Seasonal flu is an unpredictable but recurring pressure that the NHS faces every winter. Vaccination offers the best protection.

If your child misses their opportunity to receive their vaccinations in school, you will automatically be sent a text message inviting you to call us to book an appointment at one of our community clinics. Please be aware that this relies on the number on your GP record being up to date.  If you think your child is outstanding any of their vaccinations and you have not received a text message, please feel free to contact us on 0113 8433101 or via email at lcht.schoolimmsteam@nhs.net

Please also note that GP practices do not routinely offer the year 8 and 9 immunisations whilst pupils are still in these cohorts because they are provided as a school based program.

Referrals for older year groups

If your child is currently in year 10 or 11 and you believe they have missed any of their teenage vaccinations, please contact the school immunisation team in the first instance to ask about booking a community clinic appointment. Alternatively, you can contact your GP practice who may be happy to provide these at your surgery.

 

Referrals for Home Educated Pupils or young people who don’t attend school

All home educated pupils or young people who don’t attend school will be invited by our team at the relevant age to attend an appointment at one of our community clinics to receive their vaccinations.

Diphtheria, Tetanus & Polio (Td/IPV), Meningococcal ACWY

In year 9, your child is offered two vaccinations. These are the Meningitis ACWY vaccine which helps to protect against Meningitis and Septicaemia and the TD/IPV booster which helps to protect against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio. Young people may be offered the MMR vaccine to protect against Measles, Mumps and Rubella if they did not receive it when they were younger. Information about the vaccinations will be added to your child’s health record, including GP records and those held by the NHS. If you do not want your child to receive the vaccination it is important to complete the refusal section on the form. 

Using your school’s unique code (information from school) you can submit a consent or a refusal form for your year 8 child here: https://www.leedsimmunisations.co.uk/Forms/DTP

Please note, submitting vaccination refusal is just as important as a consent.
