The Government provides guidance to schools on supporting the delivery of school-aged vaccination programmes, directing them to work with NHS-commissioned School Aged Immunisation Services and providing NHS and UK Health Security Agency vaccine information and resources to be shared with parents and carers. Any additional materials used by individual schools are a matter for them, and the Government plays no role in disseminating or endorsing any such materials.
