Providing Consent
We understand that those with parental responsibility for a child are not always able to attend immunisation appointments. Therefore, if you wish the appointment to be attended on your behalf by a chosen representative, (E.G - a grandparent or childminder), we require a handwritten signed letter which acknowledges you give consent for your child to be vaccinated and accompanied to the appointment by this chosen representative. Without this, we are unable to proceed with the appointment.
Refusal of Childhood Immunisation
In certain circumstances, parents/guardians may feel that it is not in the best interest of their child to have a childhood vaccination. Following discussions with your clinician, should a parent/guardian advise they will not be bringing their child for a routine vaccine, then they are to complete a discalimer form. This form can be downloaded by clicking the 'Refusal of Childhood Immunisation Form'.
