The School-aged Immunisation Team is offering the HPV vaccine to boys and girls in Year 8 as part of the national school-aged vaccination programme.
The HPV vaccination programme can help to protect young people against some types of HPV-related cancers. The programme consists of two doses of the vaccine: the first dose in Year 8 and a second dose a minimum of 26 weeks after.
To consent for your child to have the two doses of HPV vaccine, please follow the steps on this attached letter.
Please note that if you do not indicate whether you want your child to be vaccinated or not, and your child requests the vaccinations, it may be appropriate for your child to give their own consent.
