Flu Vaccinations
All pupils in the school are offered a flu vaccination which will take place on 14th December 2022. The vaccination is delivered via a nasal spray. As this is during the prelims we will make arrangements for pupils in S4, 5 and 6 to ensure that they all have the opportunity to have their vaccination on the day.
Pupils received a vaccination consent form in August. If your child has not already returned their form please ask them to hand it into the school office as soon as possible.
Unfortunately we cannot check which forms have already been returned, or issue replacement forms. We have requested forms for pupils who didn’t get one in August (e.g. pupils who joined us after they were issued). Members of the vaccination team will attempt to contact parents on the day of the vaccination if they haven’t received a consent form.
An information leaflet about the vaccination was issued along with the forms but more information can be found at the following link
