Immunisation Service

Vaccination form - consent or decline your child's vaccination

Click on the child vaccination form button to consent or decline the vaccination for your child. You only need their name, date of birth and postcode, you don't need their NHS number. Our team will contact you to confirm if you do or don't want your child to have the vaccination if we don't hear from you, so please let us know.

Need to catch-up?

If your child has missed an immunisation at school, is home educated or you would prefer to have their immunisation outside the school setting, you can book an appointment at one of our community immunisation clinics. Click the button to find a clinic near you and to book your child's appointment. 

MMR vaccine catch-up

We are offering a measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) catch-up to all young people who have missed a first or second dose. Those due to have a scheduled vaccine in year eight or 11, can get a MMR vaccine at school at the same time. All other children will need a booked appointment in one of our community clinics. You’ll need to contact us to arrange an appointment using our contact details at the bottom of the page.

What we do

Imms serviceWe deliver the routine national immunisation programme to children and young people aged 0 to 19. We can also offer the flu vaccine to eligible adults. Vaccinations are administered in schools and community clinics.

Vaccines are the most important thing we can do to protect ourselves and our children against ill health now and in the future. The NHS has a guide to help you understand the vaccines offered in the UK and when to have them. The NHS website also explains how they work and why they're safe. You can find out more about the vaccines offered to your child before school, and when they are at primary school and secondary school on our website.

Families who might need further support

We understand children with special educational needs, a disability or those who have a needle phobia may find vaccination sessions stressful. We would like to offer all children the opportunity to receive their vaccinations in an appropriate and comfortable environment.

  • We can go to your child’s school and vaccinate – you may wish to be with them, but this is not a requirement.
  • We have regular community clinics across Kent and Medway that vary from children’s centres to hospitals. You can book at a location and time of your choice and come along with your child.
  • In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to offer home visits.
