HPV Vaccinations for Year 10 and 11 girls.
The vaccinations for the prevention of Cervical Cancer are scheduled to be given to all Year 10 and Year 11 girls on 30th October, 11th December and 12th March. We have just received confirmation, from the Leicestershire Health Protection Agency and Director of Public Health, that the vaccine was not a contributing factor to the sad death of the 14 year old girl in last month. She was suffering from underlying medical conditions which could have led to her death at any time. They hope that this news reassures all Parents and Carers that the vaccine is safe and would like you to encourage your daughters to have the vaccine.
