Providing the 100% vaccination offer for children in schools (Reception to Year 11)
Dear Parent/carer/legal guardian,
Thank you for your time and support for school vaccination teams this year during such a busy time.
Your school-age vaccination provider, Vaccination UK, have either recently or in the past visited your school to offer childhood vaccination. However, children in some classes may have missed this opportunity due to a lower response on consent forms.
We want to ensure that children of parents who have not yet replied can still take up the offer, therefore Vaccination UK may to hold further immunisation clinics and may ask to obtain parental consent on the day on the day of vaccination in order to deliver the 100% vaccination offer.
Vaccination UK is also offering a range of accessible options from direct appointment, convenient catch up clinics and additional school visits. More information can be found here. https://www.schoolvaccination.uk/catch-up-clinics/barking-dagenham
Thank you again for your great support in protecting London against the vaccine preventable diseases. We appreciate your help in protecting families across London against flu this year. Please let us know any queries or support you require.
Yours sincerely,
Susan Elden
Consultant in Public Health, NHSE – London
Matthew Cole
Director of Public Health, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham
