Coventry & Warwickshire ICB Immunisation Service: The School-Aged Immunisation Service delivers free, safe, and effective vaccines to children across Coventry and Warwickshire as part of the national NHS programme. Working closely with schools, parents, and carers, we help protect children against serious illnesses and support their long-term health and wellbeing. Together, we're building healthier futures, one vaccine at a time.

In the UK, every child should be protected against preventable diseases and is entitled to free childhood immunisations. It is important that children are offered the chance to be vaccinated safely and effectively.

We are available to provide expert advice to young people, families, other professionals and schools regarding immunisation and vaccination issues and can offer extra support to those children and young people who are worried about receiving a vaccination or who have additional needs. Most vaccinations are given in school during the school day, but we also offer community clinics and alternative venues to ensure every child has access to the protection they need.

Vaccination sessions will be offered at schools using an online consent form, which allows parents to consent to their child's vaccination(s) at school or within a clinic setting.

We offer the following Vaccine programmes in schools and community clinics:

Yearly Flu vaccine
To protect healthy children in primary and secondary schools

All schools: All years, Reception to Year 11 (ages 4 to 16)
Special Education Provision: Reception to Year 13 (ages 4 to 19)

HPV - Human Papillomavirus Vaccine
To protect healthy children from being infected by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

All schools: All Year 8 (ages 12 and 13)
Young people in Years 9, 10, and 11 who have missed their vaccine

Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (Td/IPV) vaccine
All schools: All Year 9 (ages 12 and 13)
Any young people in Years 9, 10, and 11 who have missed their vaccine.

General advice

Anxious about vaccinations
We understand that some children and young people feel anxious about vaccinations. If needed, they can be seen first at the school session to reduce waiting time and have their vaccine in a quieter space. They may also feel more comfortable at a community clinic. Please let us know if they need extra support or have any questions.

Referral criteria:
Children and young people are usually offered vaccines at the right time during the school year. If you think your child is due a vaccine, has missed one, or is home-schooled and you haven't heard from us, please contact your local team using the details below.

Contact us:
The CWPT School Aged Immunisation Team can be contacted for advice and to book appointments, Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 4pm by telephone or email.
