 Dear Parent/Guardian,

Your child’s annual flu vaccination is now due School years - Reception, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 (children born between 01.09.2008 and 31.08.2015)

Why vaccinate against flu? Flu can be an unpleasant illness and sometimes causes serious complications. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable friends and family by preventing the spread of flu. The vaccine is given by a simple spray up the nose, it is painless, quick and side effects are uncommon.

 What to do now

To complete the electronic consent form for your child to the flu vaccination, please access using the link below: https://www.nottinghamshireimmunisations.co.uk/Forms/Flu

Even if you are refusing consent, please still complete the online form.

Please submit your form as soon as possible to ensure your child receives the vaccination. We are due to visit your child’s school on Tuesday 12 November 2019. You will need to enter the unique code for your child’s school - the code is NG122473.

If you experience any problems or have any queries, please contact us on 07920 182032 and the team will be happy to help.

What if my child is absent?

If your child is absent on the day please contact 07920 182032 or email schoolagedimmunisationteam@nottshc.nhs.uk to book a clinic appointment.

This vaccine is not offered by your GP unless your child is in an identified at risk group. If your child becomes wheezy or has their asthma medication increased after you return this form, please contact the School Aged Immunisation Service. Please let the immunisation team know if your child receives this vaccination anywhere else after you have completed this form otherwise they may be vaccinated again. If you have any queries please contact the School Aged Immunisation Service.

Yours sincerely, School Aged Immunisation Service
