Dear Parent/Carer

Year 9 DTP and Men ACWY vaccinations are part of the National Immunisation Programme and are offered in school to protect against the diseases above. Your child may also be offered the MMR vaccine
to protect against Measles, Mumps and Rubella if they did not receive both doses when they were younger.

How to consent: We are coming to your child’s school on Thursday 14th May 2026 please ensure that you have submitted a form even if you do not consent, by Tuesday 12th May 2026

Please click on the link below. You will need to use the school code WF136394 provided to complete the consent form as soon as possible.

Important: If you do not wish your child to receive the vaccinations, you still need to complete the “refusal section” on the form so that we understand your wishes. If we do not receive a consent or refusal form, your child will be given an opportunity to consent for themselves on the day after being assessed by a nurse as Gillick Competent to do so.

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.

If you change your mind regarding consent or there are any changes to your child’s health following submission of the form, you must contact us on the above telephone number.

Support in accessing or completing a form: If you experience any problems accessing or completing
the online form, please contact us on the above telephone number and our team will be happy to help.

Yours faithfully
