Response 

A to C

The Government of Jersey has a Child Health Immunisation service based in Fort Regent, Jersey, however, immunisations are administered in individual schools rather than this location. Catch-up clinics are offered, though these are administered at the hospital or back at the school (depending on numbers). 

The service does not have all of the roles listed; however, there is an Immunisation Nurse Specialist and an Immunisation Nurse who lead on school aged vaccinations. 

Government of Jersey employees below Tier 1 and Tier 2 are protected from identification for the purposes of Freedom of Information disclosure, and therefore, Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.
