Dear Parent / Carer of Year 8 students
30/01/2026 – Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination at Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy
We are inviting your child to be vaccinated against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The HPV vaccine helps protect boys and girls against certain cancers which can be caused by the HPV infection. These include:
• Some mouth and throat cancers.
• Cervical cancer.
• Cancers of the penis and genital area
• Genital warts.
The HPV vaccination is now given as a single dose which gives long-lasting protection. Further information about this vaccine is available from https://family.kentcht.nhs.uk/teenimms.
An automated email will be sent to you on completion of the e-consent from
school.immunisations@nhs.net. If this does not come through, please check your junk email or contact the Immunisation Service.
If you have any concerns or would like to withdraw your consent, please contact the Immunisation Service on the telephone number or email below.
Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
Your child should have received two doses of the MMR vaccine for full protection. If not, and you’d like them vaccinated, please complete the MMR consent form and we will give your child both vaccines at then same time.
Visit https://family.kentcht.nhs.uk/teenimms for more details of the MMR vaccination.
Kind regards,
Immunisation Service
