The Provider is required to reflect these changes accordingly in a timely way with agreement from the Commissioner.These vaccines form part of the national routine childhood vaccination programme, which aims to prevent school-aged children from developing vaccine preventable childhood diseases that are associated with significant mortality and morbidity. High uptake of vaccinations in this population also helps to protect the wider community through herd immunity.The Commissioner expects the school-aged immunisation service to be delivered primarily in schools with additional arrangements in place to vaccinate those service users who are not in mainstream education and those with an unknown school. The SAIS Provider must offer the Service to 100% of eligible school-aged children and young people.Please note the deadline for responses to the Competitive Process is 12:00PM (Mid-day) on the 7th February 2025.
