E-consents
The Bradford School Immunisation team is now moving from paper consents to electronic consents. For all vaccinations from September 2022, you will receive a letter from the School Immunisation team, via your child’s school, with information on how to access and complete your child’s online consent, using your child’s unique school code. There are also links to the HPV and Teenage Booster e-consent forms at the bottom of this page.
Please use the unique school code to access and complete the consent form online as soon as you receive the prompt from your child’s school. We hope this process is easier for parents/carers when consenting for their child to have routine vaccinations.
If you have any questions regarding the above or require further information regarding vaccinations, please contact our Admin Hub on 01274 221269 and they will arrange for a member of our Immunisation team to call you back.
The School Immunisation team promotes and delivers immunisations in 43 secondary schools and 173 primary schools along with children and young people that are home tutored or in alternative provisions across Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven.
The team aims to increase how many children are vaccinated against a range of illnesses through health-promotion activities as well as planned sessions in schools and community-based clinics. Home visits are also carried out for children who may have additional needs or requirements, and who may need to be in more familiar surroundings. Some of these children may also be very anxious.
The Bradford School Immunisation team consists of clinical and administrative staff working together to deliver a high-quality service.
If your child is not yet at school, you will find all the information you need to know on the immunisations and vaccinations page. Please speak to your GP about what vaccinations they need.
The vaccinations and immunisations below are offered throughout the year. You can download our FAQs to find answers to common questions parents/carers ask, or download resources explaining what each of these is for and what you need to do to give consent for your child to receive them.
