Vaccine Superhero
A school-based health initiative
Coventry Public Health is inviting all primary and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) schools across the city to participate in the newly launched Vaccine Superhero initiative this academic year (2024/25).
The three-level programme is designed to inspire and empower school communities to champion childhood vaccination through engaging and educational activities. The ultimate aim is to increase the number of children and young people in Coventry that are protected against vaccine-preventable diseases. Many childhood vaccinations continue to provide protection throughout adulthood.
Once registered for the programme, each school will receive a welcome pack containing practical tips and tools to help children learn about the science behind vaccine biology and why it is important to protect our communities. This welcome pack includes a Giant Microbe set which are plush toys of actual microbes such as chickenpox and flu as well as a vaccine bottle and antibodies.
Primary and SEND schools are encouraged to register and take part in this initiative.
The registration window closes on Friday 31 January 2025.
