Dear Parent/Carer,
We’re coming to on Moorpark Junior School on 16th October 2026 to give pupils their annual flu vaccination.
We would like your consent to vaccinate your child. You can respond by filling in our online form.
Do not reply to this email to tell us your decision. The link to the online consent form is below.
About the children’s flu vaccine
The vaccine protects against flu, which can cause serious health problems such as bronchitis and pneumonia. It is recommended for children from Reception to Year 11 every year.
Find out more about the children’s flu vaccine on NHS.UK
You can also find a range of information resources about the vaccine on GOV.UK, including in other languages.
How the vaccine is given
Most children are given the vaccine as a nasal spray. This is a quick and painless spray up the nose and offers the best protection against flu.
The nasal spray contains a small amount of gelatine derived from pigs (porcine gelatine). If your child does not use gelatine products, or cannot have the nasal spray for medical reasons, you can choose an alternative injected vaccine that has no gelatine or any other animal product. You can request this in the consent form.
How to respond
It’s important to let us know whether you do or do not want your child to have the vaccination. It will take less than 5 minutes to respond using the link below.
