HPV Vaccinations - Year 8
Parental consent
To support us in protecting more children against these serious diseases, we ask that parents complete the online consent form by visiting https://london.schoolvaccination.uk/hpv/2024/walthamforest before midnight Thursday 19th June 2025.
Your child won't receive the vaccination without your consent.
It is important to complete this form even if you choose not to consent to your child's vaccination.
If you choose not to complete the online consent form, this does not mean that you have refused the vaccine.
To help UK Vaccinations may follow up with SMS reminders closer to the vaccination date if you have not completed the form
