HPV (Human papillomavirus) Vaccination

The HPV vaccine helps protect people from HPV-related cancers and 90% of genital wart infections. Getting the vaccine now protects you against future risks.

HPV vaccination school information packs

An envelope with an Information booklet pertaining to the vaccines, ingredients and any side effects and the consent form will be given to all S1 Pupils and any older eligible pupils with any incomplete courses from the week commencing 6th January 2025. These will be distributed by the School. If you/your child does not receive a pack/consent form please enquire at the school to be given a blank pack.

Please complete all forms and return to the school as soon as possible. Please ensure the consent form is returned even if you/your child DO NOT consent to receiving the vaccine.

You and your parent or carer should chat about the information. Both you and your parent or carer should sign the consent form and return it to your school. You should return the consent form even if you’re not going to have the vaccine.

We recommend getting agreement from a parent or carer, but it isn’t always necessary.
