Flu vaccination for schools and colleges

Teaching staff cannot leave a class, so the clinic has to happen when there is no class to leave.

The constraint

Schools have an unusually rigid timetable and a workforce that genuinely cannot step away mid-lesson. Supply cover is expensive and disruptive. Meanwhile staff spend the day in enclosed rooms with thirty children right through the flu season.

How we run it

Inset days first

The single best clinic date in a school year. No timetable to work around and full staff attendance already expected.

Before school and after school

Where an inset day is not available, clinics from 07:30 or from 15:30 catch most of the teaching staff.

Support staff included by design

Teaching assistants, office staff, catering, caretaking and cleaning are frequently forgotten in school clinics and are exposed to exactly the same environment.

Trust and MAT sequencing

For multi-academy trusts we run a sequence across schools with consolidated reporting to the central team.

Note on pupil vaccination

We vaccinate staff, not pupils. The children's influenza programme in schools is commissioned separately through NHS school-age immunisation services, and nothing we do interacts with or substitutes for it. If you are looking for pupil vaccination, your local NHS commissioning route is the correct one.

The standard service

Quoted as a half-day or full-day clinic fee plus a rate per vaccination. Your written quote confirms both for your team, location and clinic arrangements. See pricing and booking details. Seasonal flu vaccine, individual clinical screening, pharmacist administration, anaphylaxis cover and uptake reporting within 48 hours, all included. The clinic fee covers pharmacist attendance, travel, setup and temperature-controlled vaccine transport, and vaccinations are charged only when given. Beyond 100 miles of central London, we run full-day clinics only, whatever your team size, and travel or overnight costs may be added to your quote.

Common questions

When is the best time for a school clinic?

An inset day, without much competition. Failing that, before school from around 07:30 or after school from 15:30.

Do you vaccinate pupils?

No. We vaccinate staff only. Pupil influenza vaccination runs through NHS school-age immunisation services, which is a separate commissioned programme.

Can you cover a multi-academy trust?

Yes. We sequence clinics across schools in the trust and report centrally.

Are support staff included?

Yes, and we would push for it. Catering, cleaning, office and teaching assistant roles share the same environment and are often left out of school clinics.

Planning a clinic for schools & colleges

We are a school, can you vaccinate teaching and support staff on an inset day with the necessary safeguarding arrangements?

Yes. INSET days are a popular choice. Our pharmacist follows your visitor and safeguarding procedures, and the clinic is for staff only, separate from the children's NHS programme.
