Repeat consent forms are being sent home with those pupils in year 11 who have not had the Meningitis C booster vaccination. This is following very poor take up of the vaccination in our school.

Meningitis is inflammation of the lining of the brain and can be the result of infection with a virus, bacteria or other disease-causing organism, or as a result of injury. As well as meningitis, meningococcal infection can lead to septicaemia (blood poisoning), which can be serious, especially if not diagnosed early and can lead to death.

We would appreciate your help in encouraging year 11 pupils who have not had the vaccination to return these forms to the School Office by Monday 12 January.

Many thanks
