The School Immunisation team will be in school soon to vaccinate children from Reception to Year 11 against flu. Your child will not receive the vaccine if you have not given your consent so, “Yes” or “No”, the School Immunisation team needs you to please fill in the consent form which will be sent to you from school.
The flu vaccine is slightly different each year due to different strains of flu, so even if your child was vaccinated last year, they need the vaccine again this year and your consent is required.
Find out more about the children's flu vaccine and giving your consent on Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust's Family Health Services website.
Read what the British Islamic Medical Association and British Fatwa Council say about the flu vaccine.
All consent forms returned by Thursday 30 October will be entered into a draw to win one of 30 shopping vouchers worth £30 or two worth £100.
Throughout flu we offer clinics in various locations over the school holidays and some Saturdays. If we missed your child in school or you prefer a clinic appointment you can contact the team on 01274 221269 to book an appointment. Depending on the number outstanding in schools we will try and offer a catch-up session within school.
