The School Age Immunisation Service (SAIS) has been commissioned to offer all 12-15 year olds their first Covid-19 vaccination. If your child has already received their first dose and is due a second, this will need to be arranged via your GP
Visits will be made to all Middle, Secondary and Special schools with pupils who are eligible.
Any student who has tested positive for Covid-19 will need to wait 28 days post positive result before they can receive the vaccination
The SAIS will be offering Walk-In Clinics to those students who missed the vaccination at school, you will be advised of this via a school communication

Who is collecting the data?
The School Aged Immunisation Service at Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) is collecting information about your child to ensure we have up-to-date health information about their health at the time you are consenting for them to receive an immunisation. Their demographic information is used to ensure we identify their electronic health record accurately.
What data is being collected?
We ask for basic demographic data to allow us to identify them and their health record. The information about their health is utilised by the nurses to ensure that they can confirm that the immunisation is suitable for them.
What is the legal basis for processing the data?
UK GDPR articles 6(1)(e) and 9(2)(h) and the Data Protection Act 2018 allows for processing of your child’s data for the provision of direct healthcare and the management of healthcare systems.
Will the data be shared with any third parties?
We do not share your information with any individual or organisation outside of the National Health Service (NHS). Your child’s data will be shared with the following NHS third parties and systems for the purposes of maintaining your child’s health record for the safety of your child’s health:
- General Practice (GP) – this is to inform your GP of what vaccinations your child has received to avoid duplicate vaccination
- Child Health Informatics Service (CHIS) – this is the NHS Service that manage the uploading of children’s vaccination information.
- NHS Improvement & NHS England – a summary of how many children have been vaccinated is provided and the vaccination status of your child is shared for national reporting

We collect data on consent forms to allow us to record if you have consented to their immunisation and to assess your child’s eligibility and to allow the nurses to make decisions about the safe vaccination of your child.

Forms must be completed by person(s) with PARENTAL RESPONSIBILTY
The person(s) with parental responsibility will usually, but not invariably be the child’s birth parents. People with parental responsibility for the child include: the child’s mother; the child’s father if married to the mother at the child’s conception, birth or later; a legally appointed guardian; the local authority if the child is on a care order; or a person named in a residence order in respect of the child. Fathers who have never been married to the child’s mother will only have parental responsibility if they acquired it through a court order or parental responsibility agreement. After the 30th November 2003 unmarried fathers have automatic parental responsibility for their children if they are named on the birth certificate.
For a child born before the 30th November 2003, they can be re-registered and the father named on the birth certificate, after which the father will have automatic parental responsibility.
