Children aged 12 to 15
Most children aged 12 to 15 can get their vaccine at school. Vaccines will only be given to children when the parent has given full written consent.
If you have any concerns about the vaccination programme you should discuss this with your child’s school or your GP.
You can also book a vaccine appointment online, or visit a walk-in site where available.
