Dear Parent/Carer

Mop Up Seasonal Flu vaccine offer – Year 7 to Year 11

The seasonal flu vaccine is part of a national health programme to protect children, their families and communities. For more information including possible side effects please visit: Flu vaccine - NHS

We are coming to your child’s school on Tuesday 20th January 2026

How to consent:
Please note, those that have already consented do not need to do it again.
Please click on the link below or scan the QR code for the online consent form. You will need to use the unique school code WF136394 to complete the consent form as soon as possible. You will need to submit one form per child. www.wakefieldschoolimmunisations.co.uk/Forms/Flu

Does the nasal spray contain porcine?
Yes, but it is a very purified version which is barely detectable and because it is for medical purposes, it has been deemed permissible for use by the British Fatwa Council. We can offer an injectable vaccine alternative that DOES NOT contain porcine. This vaccine is only administered in those that require it for medical or cultural purposes. For primary school aged children, those having an injection need to be accompanied by a parent.

After submitting consent, if your child attends the GP for the vaccination, you change your mind or if there are any health changes, you MUST contact us on the number above. (Please note that GP practices do not routinely offer Flu vaccinations to healthy children).

Providing you enter a correct email address, you will receive email confirmation when your child has received their vaccination, including information and advice about common side effects your child may experience.

Yours faithfully
