HPV Vaccination

The NHS Berkshire Immunisation team will be visiting Charters School on the 29 April 2026 to administer the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Please complete a YES or NO consent form for your child using the links below and include your school's unique code BK138823

CLICK HERE to complete the YES or NO consent form. Please ensure you complete a YES or No consent form by 9am, one full school day (24 hours) before the session so the team can review them in time.

What the vaccine is for

The HPV vaccine helps protect boys and girls against cancers caused by HPV, including:

• cervical cancer

• some mouth and throat (head and neck) cancers

• some cancers of the anal and genital areas

The HPV vaccine works best the earlier it is given, which is why it is recommended to young people aged 12 or 13 (usually educated in year 8 of secondary school).
