Information for Year 8 and Year 9 Students and Parents/Carers

Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust has provided an information pack outlining the high school immunisation programme for Year 8 and Year 9 students, including the vaccinations offered and important information for parents and carers.

Year 8 students are offered the HPV vaccination, while Year 9 students are offered the MenACWY vaccine and the teenage 3-in-1 booster, which provides protection against tetanus, diphtheria and polio. Catch-up MMR vaccinations may also be offered where required. 

Parents and carers will receive a text message or email with a link to complete the vaccination consent form. The form should be completed whether you wish to consent to or decline the vaccination.

Further Information
