I would like to take this opportunity to share the following information from Public Health Wales regarding vaccinations for children and young people.
Vaccination is one of the most important things we can do to protect children and young people against ill health. The Welsh Government and Public Health Wales have developed the following guide to vaccinations for young people. Vaccinations for young people - Public Health Wales (nhs.wales)
The guide explains when and how vaccinations are offered to young people in school years 7 to 11 (ages 11 to 16) and why they are so important. Parents and carers are asked to read the guide. In addition, when each vaccination is due you will receive information from the school about the vaccination being offered along with a consent form. Please also read this information and return the consent form when requested, so that your child receives the best protection they can have against these serious diseases.
