COVID - 19

Vaccination Clinic for 16-17 year olds

NHS Vaccination team will be in the school building on the 30th and 31st August to hold two drop in clinics for pupils predominantly in S5 and S6 to receive the first of two vaccinations. The clinic will run from 9:30 am to 3:15pm

Monday 30th will see S6 pupils attending the sports hall to get vaccinated.

Tuesday 31st will see S5 pupils attending for their vaccinations.

Pupils will be away from classes for an indeterminate period of time - they must wait 15 minutes after receiving vaccination before returning to class.


Update: S4 & S5 pupils under 16

S5 and some S4 pupils over 15 years but not yet 16 years will be eligible for a vaccination at the drop in clinics as the NHS has a "prescriber" health care nurse who can oversee vaccinations.

S5 and S4 pupils eligible will be getting a text message sent.

If parents give consent then the pupils should be able to get a vaccination at the drop in clinic.
