Staying up to date with school-age vaccinations is one of the most important things you can do for your child’s long-term health. These immunizations protect teenagers and young adults against serious diseases, such as Meningitis, HPV, and Polio. Before they leave school or head off to university or the workplace.
To make it as easy as possible for families in our area, the School Vaccination UK team runs dedicated catch-up clinics throughout the year. These clinics are specifically designed for students who missed their sessions during the normal school day, providing a calm and professional environment for them to receive their boosters.
Which Vaccinations Can My Child Catch Up On?
The clinics typically cover the core school-age immunisation programme, including:
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): Usually offered in Year 8 to protect against various cancers.
- Meningitis ACWY: Offered in Year 9 to protect against four strains of meningitis and septicaemia.
- DTP Booster: The 3-in-1 teenage booster that protects against Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Polio.
- MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella): If your child has not had two doses of the MMR vaccine, they can often catch up here too.
