Year 9 Senior Booster Consent Link & Information

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Your Year 9 child is now due for their routine childhood vaccinations. These vaccinations form part of the national immunisation schedule and are recorded in your child’s Personal Child Health Record (Red book, if born in the UK)

E-Consent Click here to complete https://ncl.schoolvaccination.uk/dtp/2025/Barnet

These vaccinations will be taking place on January 23rd 2026.

In Year 9, two vaccines are offered:

1. Diptheria, Tetanus, and Polio (DTP) booster

2. Meningitis ACWY (MenACWY) vaccination

Your child will have received four doses of the DTP as a baby at 8, 12, and 16 weeks old. The Year 9 booster is the fifth and final dose, providing protection throughout adulthood. This vaccine protects against serious diseases that can cause breathing difficulties, nerve damage, muscle stiffness, and paralysis.

The MenACWY vaccine protects against four strains of the meningococcal bacteria which can lead to meningitis and septicaemia (blood poisoning). Meningitis causes dangerous swelling of the lining of the brain and spinal cord and can result in life-changing complications such as brain damage, amputations, and memory loss. Both meningitis and septicaemia are life-threatening but can be prevented through vaccination.

An information leaflet and the e-consent link are attached. Please complete the e-consent form to tell us whether you do or do not want your child to receive these vaccines. A form must be completed for both “yes” and “no” responses. If we do not receive a completed form, a member of the immunisation team will contact you by phone to complete it verbally.

If you have any questions, please contact the immunisations team at barnet@v-uk.co.uk”

Please note, the link in the cover letter, says it is for 2024, but it will still allow parents to complete a form for this round of vaccinations for the 2025-26 year.

We do not need a class list as we have your class list for Year 9 students from the Flu programme. If you have not yet sent your class list, please can you do this ASAP. Government guidance states that schools have a lawful basis to share parent contact details with the SAIS team. Further guidance can be found here -> https://www.gov.uk/guidance/data-protection-in-schools/sharing-personal-data

And finally, if you have not yet confirmed your dates for the Year 9 vaccinations, please can you do also do this ASAP.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,
