balanced information to help young people and their parents make informed choices, and i can confirm that from monday, the 20th of september, drop—in clinics will be open for any 12—15 year old who has read the information and in discussion with parents and carers decided they wish to be vaccinated. it will be appropriate for parents and carers to accompany their children to clinics and vaccinate us will be on hand to answer any further questions —— vaccinators. starting the following week, letters will be sent to all 12—15 —year—olds inviting them to an appointment at a drop—in centre or vaccination clinic and again parents and carers will be invited to accompany them and the appointment will include an opportunity to ask questions. finally, after the scheduled community sessions, there will be a programme in schools to make sure that anyone who has not been vaccinated and who decides they want to beat, gets a further opportunity.
