Notice from the Vaccination Team
In light of the current Government Guidance that is in place regarding COVID 19 and school closures, we have had to temporarily suspend the School Based Immunisation Programmes. We will be following all the National guidance and updates closely and will look to recommence the programmes as soon as it is safe to do so.
If you have already completed a consent form for your child this will remain valid.
Alternatively if you wish to give consent or have any queries you can call us on 03333 583 397 (option 7, option 2) or contact the team via our email : Immunisationshull@intrahealth.co.uk
We aim to provide further information regarding re-arranged dates once we have had further guidance from Public Health England.
