Charlton School

Dear Parent/Carer,

We have been notified that the school immunisation team will be at Charlton School on Monday 18^th and Tuesday 19^th October 2021 to offer a vaccination to all students aged 12 to 16 who have been given consent to have the vaccination.

Please find attached a letter from the NHS vaccination team, including a set of FAQs.  Only children aged 12 and above can have the vaccine and students who have had Covid-19 must wait 28 days from their positive PCR test prior to having a vaccine.

Students will be issued with a paper copy of the consent form on Friday, we have also attached a copy here.  The consent forms need to be returned to reception by 9:00am on Thursday 14^th October.

Please can students either wear a short-sleeved shirt on the day of their vaccination or a t-shirt under their shirt to assist the vaccinators to have easy access to their upper arm.

Should you have any concerns, or questions not answered in the attached letter or FAQs, please do get in touch by emailing the immunisation team directly on shropcom.immunisationteam@nhs.net.

Advanced notice – we will also be facilitating Flu Vaccinations for Years 7 to 11 on Friday 22^nd October, further details and a consent form will follow at the end of next week.

Thank you for your support.

Yours faithfully,

Mr A McNaughton

Principal
