Our School Aged Immunisation team is currently delivering the human papillomavirus (HPV) immunisation programme in Gloucestershire schools to all children in Year 8, and students in Years 9, 10 and 11 who have not previously taken up the offer.
Our immunisation team will be running clinics at community venues across Gloucestershire during the February half-term holiday (17-21 February) for those children in Year 8 who do not wish to receive their HPV vaccination at school, have missed it due to absence, are home schooled or not in mainstream education.
The team will also be offering DTP (diphtheria, tetanus and polio) and MenACWY (meningitis and septicaemia) vaccinations to students in Years 10 and 11 who have not previously received them.
