IMMUNISATION PROGRAMMES 2024
​
DTP /MenACWY (Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio) / (Meningitis ACWY) will be offered to offered to all S3 pupils and any unvaccinated S4 - S6 pupils on Monday 29 April 2024.
It is essential that completed consent forms are received in advance. If any pupils have lost their consent form please contact NHS Tayside on 01382 432135.
​
The campaign Chat. Sign. Protect. aims to raise awareness and encourage uptake of the vaccines offered to young people in secondary school.
​
All young people in S1 and S3 are offered the HPV, MenACWY and DTP vaccines which protect them against serious diseases, such as meningitis and different cancers.
​
The campaign encourages parents/carers and their young people to chat about the free vaccines offered, before signing and returning their consent form to school.
​
To raise awareness of the vaccines and encourage uptake, Public Health Scotland has created a social media toolkit with assets and captions to share on your social media channels.    
​
This includes new short clips which have been developed in partnership with Young Scot which show two young people asking a vaccinator common questions they have around vaccinations.
​
All the resources, sized for different channels, are available to download here. 
​
From now, until the end of March, could you please regularly feed these social media assets into your planned activity using the hashtag #ChatSignProtect. 
​

Your support is much appreciated.
