SAIS Covid-19 vaccination programme for 12-15 year olds in schools
From Monday 10th January 2022, children aged 12-15 will be offered their 1st or 2nd dose of the Covid-19 vaccination in Nottinghamshire schools. Most children can get the 2nd dose from 12 weeks after their 1st dose.
School immunisation teams will visit your child’s school to give the vaccine.
As a parent or guardian, you will receive a letter or email with information about when the vaccine will be offered, and you’ll be asked to give consent. Please keep an eye out from your child’s school for further details.
Alternatively, this age group can book online or walk into the following vaccination clinics without an appointment:
- Mansfield Vaccination Centre – Tuesday and Thursday 4:30pm-7:30pm
- King’s Mill Hospital – Monday – Sunday 8:00am-1:30pm
- Forest Recreation Ground – Monday and Wednesday 4:30pm-7:30pm
Parents or guardians should attend the appointment to give their consent.
Please visit the NHS website for further information about the vaccination for 12 – 15 year olds. In addition, a vaccination guide for young people is available on GOV.UK.
Has your child recently tested positive for Covid-19?
If your child has tested positive for Covid-19 and is not at high risk from Covid-19, they need to wait 12 weeks before they can have a Covid-19 vaccine. This starts from the date of their positive PCR test.
