SCHOOL FLU VACCINATIONS
Tuesday 25 November

All students in Years 7-11 will be eligible for their annual flu vaccine at school this autumn. Flu can make children and young people very poorly, and the vaccine helps keep them safe. Even if your child had the flu vaccine last year, they need it again this year. 

The Berkshire Immunisation team will visit us on Tuesday 25 November. If you have not yet completed the consent form, can you please do this as soon as possible. You MUST complete a YES or NO consent form for each child using the links below and include your school's unique code: BK110063.

• Nasal Flu Vaccine (contains a small amount of porcine gelatine)
  • This is the most effective flu vaccine for children. It is a quick, simple, and painless spray administered into the nose. Click here to complete the YES or NO consent form for the nasal flu vaccine: NASAL Flu Vaccination Consent Form
• Injectable Flu Vaccine (does not contain any porcine gelatine)
  • If you decline the nasal spray due to its porcine content, an injectable alternative is available. Click here to complete the YES or NO consent form for the injectable flu vaccine: INJECTABLE Flu Vaccination Consent Form

More details can be found in the letter sent home at the start of the month, but can also be downloaded here: Berkshire Immunisation Team - LHS Flu Vaccine letter
