Preparing pupils for school immunisations
Welcome to our S1 immunisation portal where you can find information regarding preparing your child for their school immunisations.
What to do: before, on the day & after immunisation
Before school immunisations
- All Information packs/leaflets given to pupils should be shared with their parent/carer and discussed jointly.
- The consent form should be completed and returned to School at earliest opportunity.
On the day of immunisation
- Pupils will be offered immunisation by a qualified Nurse who is part of the school immunisation team. They have vast experience and knowledge surrounding immunisations and are excellent in supporting pupils through the experience.
- Ensure pupil is wearing loose fitting or short sleeved clothing to allow easy access for the injection.
- Ensure the pupil has eaten prior to vaccination. Having water and a snack for later can also be helpful.
After immunisation
- Manage mild side effects if required.
