• School-Aged Immunisation Programme in Schools 2021 to 2022

  Mon 13 Dec 2021 Bernie Ranzetta

  Seasonal flu vaccination programme

  As part of the national vaccination programme, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust’s Community Immunisation Service would like to offer the opportunity to protect children and young people against seasonal flu (influenza) this winter.

  The flu vaccination programme is a high priority within public health policy every year. However, in light of the risk of flu and Covid-19 co-circulating this winter, the national flu immunisation programme will be absolutely essential to protect children and vulnerable people, including babies and elderly, and supporting the resilience of the health and care system.

  This offer for flu vaccinations has also been extended to include more young people in secondary school. Children from reception year to year 11 (born between 1st September 2005 and 31st August 2017) will be offered the nasal flu vaccination in school.

  Younger children aged 2 and 3 years will be offered the flu vaccination at their GP surgery.

  Free School Meal Vouchers for children with EHCPs

  The majority of children eligible for free school meals will be able to access food and support over the Christmas holidays through the HAF programme. Children with EHCPs may not be able to access the HAF programme. Therefore the Household Support Fund will be sending e-vouchers directly to those parent/carers whose children have an EHCP. Families who need additional support with food over the Christmas holidays will be able to access the Household Support Fund. A family member can self-refer for food and utility support via the Household support fund website. Residents who are digitally excluded can be supported by Citizens Advice who can be contacted on
