Children at school are given important vaccines like the Meningitis (MenACWY) and seasonal ones such as the flu vaccine. These are given by healthcare professionals during school hours. Parents will get information and consent forms by email before the vaccination day. It’s important to fill in and return the form quickly so your child can get their vaccine.
Children who are home educated or who miss their vaccination at school can get their vaccines at community clinics. For more help, you can call 0300 555 5055 (choose option 6 for Essex) or email hct.csaismse@nhs.net.
