The NHS website has all the information you need, including what to look out for and when to get medical help.

The team will shortly be visiting schools to offer the Meningitis ACWY vaccination and Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio booster. All parents of children in Year 9 should have received a link to complete our e-consent form via school.

If you have any questions or need help to complete the form, please call the team on 01924 310133.

Cases of invasive meningococcal disease have been confirmed in Kent. Sadly, 2 people are known to have died. It's important to know the signs of symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia. Get more info from NHS.

It's never too late - if you would like to consent for your Year 8 child to receive their vaccine, please call the team on 01924 310133.

Back To School!!!

Hope everyone has had a wonderful half term. Our team are back out next week to see Year 8 children for their HPV vaccination.

Still time to consent - please call the team on 01924 310133 and we will be happy to help 😊

20/02/2026

All children in Year 8 are offered the HPV vaccination. We are currently in the process of visiting all secondary schools to offer this important vaccine. Look out for the information being sent from school regarding this. This may come by e-mail, text or school messaging system. The information will have the link to the online electronic HPV form & the unique code for your child's school.

Please respond as soon as you can – yes or no, we need a reply either way.

The HPV vaccine helps protect against a common virus that can sometimes lead to certain cancers, including:
▪Cervical
▪Anal
▪Mouth
▪Penile
▪Vulval
▪Vaginal cancer
It can also prevent ge***al warts.
Getting vaccinated at this age gives the best protection before any possible exposure to HPV.
Alternatively please call the team on 01924 310133, and a member will be happy to help 😄
