A legally authorized representative, usually a parent or guardian, must give permission (also called consent) for vaccination for someone 12-17 years of age, such as by completing a written consent form that the minor (the person under the age of 18) can bring to their vaccination appointment.
The parent or guardian does not need to go with the minor to their vaccination appointment to give consent. Before your vaccination appointment, please download a copy of the consent form and bring the completed form with you.
