Announcements

Parents/Carers of students in Y9 - Meningococcal ACWY (MenACWY) and Diphtheria, Tetanus & Polio (DTP) vaccinations (needle administrations) will be taking place in school from Wednesday 11th to Friday 13th June 2025.

Please complete the decision form https://www.somersetsaint.co.uk/Forms/DTP by midday on Tuesday 10th June 2025.  (Blue School Code SM137285). (The same form can be used to indicate that you do not give consent). 

The school hosts NHS Somerset SAINT (School Aged Immunisation Nursing Team).  Vaccinations are administered by NHS SAINT staff and SAINT manage all aspects of consent.   

The MenACWY helps to protect your child against four types of meningococcal bacteria (groups A, C, W and Y) that can cause meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain) and septicaemia (blood poisoning).  The DTP vaccination protects against Diphtheria, Tetanus & Polio diseases all of which can be very serious.

Thank you.
