The HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccination is offered to all Year 8 pupils. It protects against HPV infections to help reduce the risk of cancers including cervical, anal, and head and neck. For any child who missed their routine vaccination, the School Age Immunisation Service will continue to offer this until the end of Year 11. Young people may be offered the opportunity to self-consent for vaccination.<\/p>\n
Complete a form no later than two working days before the session date. Please use the unique code provided by your child\u2019s school. If you experience any problems accessing the form, contact your local immunisation team and they will be happy to help.<\/p>\n
After having a vaccination<\/p>\n
After having a vaccination, you may have some minor side effects. For example:<\/p>\n
\tOften people experience redness, swelling or pain around the injection site, and may have a bit of a headache
\n \tOther common side effects include some bruising or itchiness at the injection site, a high temperature or feeling hot and shivery, sick and some pain in the arms and legs.<\/p>\n
These symptoms shouldn\u2019t last very long, and taking pain killers, such as paracetamol, can help you feel better. It\u2019s also a good idea to have something to eat, and a drink so you stay hydrated after you\u2019ve had a vaccination. If your symptoms last a while, or get worse, call the free NHS helpline on 111, or contact your GP.<\/p>\n
