Newsletter Parents/Carers Update HPV Human Papilloma Vaccinations in school – 20 April 2021 The School Age Immunisation Service (SAIS) for Derbyshire and Derby City are in school on 20 April 2021 to give the HPV (Human Papilloma Vaccine) to year 8 and 9 students.

The same consent form will be used for both doses of the HPV vaccination. Please click on the link below to complete the consent form. The option to consent or decline the vaccination is at the end of the questionnaire so please complete even if you do not want your child to have the vaccination. HVP consent form: https://www.derbyshireandcityimms.co.uk/Forms/HPV The unique school code for Highfields School is DD112950.
Year 9 action: The immunisation team have already got consent forms for the majority of year 9 students and most have already been given their first HPV vaccination, however there are still some year 9 students that would like their first HPV vaccination but were unable to receive this last year due Covid. If you are a year 9 parents/carer and have already completed the HPV consent form your child will be vaccinated with either the first or second dose of HPV on 20 April. If you would like your child to receive their HPV vaccinations and you haven’t already completed the consent form please visit click on the link below to give consent. The option to consent or decline the vaccination is at the end of the questionnaire so please complete even if you do not want your child to have the vaccination. HVP consent form: https://www.derbyshireandcityimms.co.uk/Forms/HPV The unique school code for Highfields School is DD112950. Legally students can self-consent on the day if they are 13 years old and assessed as competent by NHS staff members, however this creates much more work for staff and the team.
