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.
https://www.northumbriaimmunisations.co.uk/Forms/DTP
which will direct you to the consent form for you to complete.
Please complete if you consent or non-consent to these vaccinations.
In the rare event that you do not have access to the internet, please contact the immunisation
team on the number below, who will complete a consent form with you over the phone.
If a consent form is not completed by midday at least 48 working day hours before our
visit your child may not receive their immunisation at school.
If you require further information regarding the vaccines we offer please go to our
Immunisation website which has full details of our service:
