Dear Parent/Carer
Community Clinics for COVID-19 Immunisation Programme for children aged 12 – 15
We are running community catch-up clinics for children aged 12 – 15 who were unable to receive their vaccine in school for any reason.
If you would like to make an appointment for your child to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at one of our community based clinics please click on the link below to book an appointment and, if necessary, you can complete the consent form. Whilst attending the COVID vaccination appointment you will also be offered the Flu vaccination and you can give consent while you are there if you so wish:

As announced on 19th October you will also be able to book an appointment for your child to receive the COVID-19 at Mass Vaccination centres and booking for this will be through the National Booking Service. Book or manage your coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
If you child has had a positive PCR test result there will need to be a 28 day interval before they can receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
We will be running separate Flu only clinics, if you would like your child to receive the flu vaccine only you will receive a separate letter and link to book this in from you school
