Re: Covid-19 vaccinations for clinically-vulnerable five to 11-year-olds.

The NHS in Kent and Medway is now offering the Covid-19 vaccine to eligible children aged five to 11-years-old who:

• are at higher risk from coronavirus due to underlying health conditions or
• share living accommodation, on most days, with someone who has a weakened immune system

You can find more information about this here:

COVID-19 vaccinations: A guide for parents of children aged 5-11 at high risk.

If they have an eligible child, parents will be invited to bring them to have the vaccine by their GP practice, a local vaccination service linked to their GP practice, or the NHS School-Aged Immunisation Service (SAIS).

Parents can either book an appointment directly with their GP, or use this link to book in with any provider: https://lvs.healthit.org.uk/patheks. Eligibility will be checked at the venue.

Please can you forward this email to all your parents so they can book an appointment if their child is eligible.

Thank you for your support

Kind regards

NHS Kent and Medway

Good News!!

We are delighted to announce that the application for funding from the Reconnect: Kent Children and Young People Programme has been successful, and the Canterbury LCPG has awarded Wincheap Foundation Primary School £2,000 for Science Workshops.

These will run after school for children in the Summer Term. We look forward to offering children the chance to do extra fun and inspiring Science as part of our Covid catch-up journey. Workshops will be provided by a local scientist, be fun and free for the children to attend after school.

More details to follow! :-)
