What if a child is home-schooled or currently not attending school?

Children and young people who are home-schooled or not currently attending school can have the HPV vaccine at their GP surgery by making an appointment with the practice nurse.

School-aged children and young people who are home-schooled or not currently attending school are also eligible for a nasal spray flu vaccine each autumn. Those aged 13 and over should also have a 3-in-1 vaccine (to boost protection against diphtheria, tetanus and polio) and MenACWY vaccine (to protect against some types of meningitis and septicaemia). Children and young people who are not attending a school can also get these vaccines at their GP surgery.
