Dear Parent/Carer
The Health Security agency recommends that children aged 13 -14 years are given a
vaccination against Meningitis ACWY, alongside the Td/IPV booster. We are therefore
offering the opportunity for your child to receive both vaccinations in school. MenACWY
vaccination helps to protect against four different causes of meningitis and septicaemia:
meningococcal groups A, C, W and Y. The Td/IPV 3-in-1 teenage booster completes the 5-
dose course that provides long-term protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and polio.
Your child’s teenage boosters are due in year 9.
The online consent can be accessed via any online device.
