One less thing to remember! We visit schools throughout the year to deliver the routine school age immunisation programme. You will need to give consent before your child receives their vaccinations. Did you know you can do this in advance by filling in the online consent form on our website? Alternatively we can do this with you over the phone – just call our team who are always happy to help. It’s one less thing to remember when the school term starts again. Visit our website, https://bit.ly/KHSchoolImms, or call our friendly team: Cornwall 01872 221105, Devon 01392 342678

• Earache (age 1 to 17)

Thank you Launceston Primary School for making our team so welcome.

🌟 A Huge Thank You to Our local Immunisation Team! 🌟

We’d like to give a big shoutout to Winnie and Kerry from the Kernow Health Immunisation Team for visiting us yesterday and seeing most of our children. They shared such lovely feedback — they were truly impressed by how many parents took the opportunity to sign up for the nasal flu spray, and how wonderfully the children naturally supported one another with reassurance. 💚

Winnie and Kerry also wanted to remind everyone that there are more flu vaccine drop-in clinics available across our local areas — Launceston, Callington, Camelford, and Bude.

If you missed out this time, there’s still a chance to get booked in and help keep those nasty bugs away this winter! ❄️💉

Flu is already affecting children in many schools and is easily passed from person to person. Flu can be a very serious illness. We offer the nasal flu vaccine to primary and secondary school age children in Cornwall and Devon. Don’t forget to give your consent to vaccinate when we visit your child’s school. You’ll get a letter from school telling you how to consent, or you can do this online in advance, https://bit.ly/KHSchoolImms, or by calling our team: Cornwall 01872 221105, Devon 01392 342678
