Please see a message from Shropshire Council below:

As the new school year is approaching, we would like to ask for your support for the immunisation programme, in particular the uptake of 2 MMR vaccines for everyone and influenza for all children and staff who are eligible. Immunisations help to prevent the spread of vaccine preventable infectious diseases in the setting, some of which have the potential for serious complications. This will also help prevent absences due to sickness for both pupils and staff. 

We ask you to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases by sharing this postcard and leaflet (links below) with the parents and guardians of your children:
