Flu immunisations.

Dear parents, 

We apologise for any disappointment in the mixed messages received by parents about immunisations taking place today. From our point of view, the message has clearly been that today would only be a 'mop up' session for those students (predominantly Y5 and Y6) who did not get immunised last week due to time constraints. 

It seems some emails were shared with parents to give the impression today was another option to register and receive the jab. This is not the case. It  was made clear to our healthcare colleagues last week that the deadline for registrations had passed, and that it would not be possible to run a full further day for immunisations. 

Year five and Year six students who registered before the original deadline will be immunised as planned this afternoon. If you signed up after last Friday's sessions (following email updates from the healthcare immunisation team) then I am afraid that your child will not be administered the immunisation today. Again, we can only apologise for the mixed messages you've received from third-parties. 

To find out more details for the community vaccination clinics please call the vaccination team on 01245 984145 or email Essex@v-uk.co.uk

Regards,
