Dear GCC Parents & Guardians,

Glanmire Community College have arranged for the Health Service Executive (HSE) to attend the school on Wednesday 16 October 2024 to administer the free Nasal Flu Vaccine. This is a nationwide HSE immunisation project, where all children are to be offered vaccination by the HSE. The vaccination will be administered by Dr John Crowley and his clinical team.

This is completely optional and vaccination will only be given upon receipt of online parental consent. There is no requirement for parents to be present for the vaccinations. It is a nasal spray, and no injection is involved.

Registration, vaccine information and consent are available at https://yourgp.ie/hse-nasal-vaccine-programme-glanmire-community-college/

Password: stayhealthy

Registration will close on Monday 14/10/2024 at 12 noon before vaccination takes place in school on Wednesday 16/10/2024. If you have more than one child in the school, please do a separate submission for each.
We would like to thank the HSE for providing this very important community service.

Please note that:

  • The HSE will vaccinate all consented students up to 17 years old. For clarity, this includes those who are 17 years and 364 days old.
  • GCC and Cork ETB is not the Data Controller or Data Processor for this information and consent is provided directly to the HSE through the link above.
