HPV Year 8 School Vaccination Programme February 2024

Friday, 29 December 2023

Manx Care’s School Vaccination Team will be visiting the Island’s High Schools in February 2024 to deliver the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine programme. If your child is in Year 8, you will shortly be receiving an email from your high school to invite you to complete an online consent form.

It is important that you read the letter, which is on the first page of the form, as this provides information about our service and the vaccine. You can also see more information on the website.

This programme is only open to year 8 students. Any form completed for a child outside of the year 8 birth dates will not be accepted. Please ensure that you only submit the form once. The closing dated for submission is 15 January 2024 – any submissions after this date will not be accepted.

If your child is home schooled and of year 8 age, and you wish for them to receive the HPV vaccine, please complete an online consent form and we will allocate a date for them to attend for their vaccine.

Any consent forms sent prior to you receiving the email mentioned above will not be processed, as the form has been updated with new health questions that need to be answered.

For any enquiries, please contact the HPV Vaccination enquiries inbox on HPVVaccinationEnquiries.DHSC@gov.im, where a member of the team will respond to you as soon as they can.
