Dear Parent/Carer

Re: Your child’s flu vaccination e-consent

We are writing to inform you that the Immunisation Team is continuing to use e-consent again this year for our school-based immunisation programme.

Using e-consent is quicker and easier for you and can be completed on any platform i.e. mobile phone, tablet or computer. However in the event that this is not possible, please contact the Immunisation Team.

Please complete an e-consent form and state which vaccines you would like your child to receive. If you do not want your child to receive a vaccine then please fill in the ‘NO’ box.

Your child is due to receive the Flu vaccination on Wednesday 11^th November 2020. You can find out further information about this vaccine at the following links: NHS Protecting your child against Flu . Information for parents and carers.

Please complete the e-consent form for your child’s flu vaccination at: www.surreyimmunisations.co.uk (your school’s unique code/URN number is SR125294 which you will need to enter on to the flu consent form) 

Please complete the e-consent form by 4pm on Wednesday 4^th November 2020 (when the website portal will close). This allows time for our nurses to review and contact parents if there are any concerns, prior to the session. 

An automated email will be sent to you on completion of the e-consent form from Cinnamon Digital Applications  (who host the website portal for us). If you do not receive this, please check in your junk email or contact the immunisation team.

Parents who have not submitted their e-consent form by the deadline and wish their child to be immunised will need to call the Immunisation Team.

If you have any concerns or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Immunisation Team on the above number.

For further information, please see our Privacy Policy on our website: NHS Children and Family Health Surrey Privacy Policy

Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Information

By now your child should have had two doses of MMR to fully protect them from the diseases of MMR. If your child has NOT had two doses of MMR, and you would like them to be protected, please contact the immunisations office on the above number.

Information, translated in many languages, about MMR and answers to some common questions can be found at: Gov.Uk Web Page

If you would like any further information about the school-based vaccination programme, please contact the Immunisation Team on the telephone number below or visit Children and Family Health Surrey where you will find additional information about immunisations, school session dates and catch-up clinics.

Yours faithfully
