My local NHS has finally stopped asking my child’s “gender” in place of their sex

[carefulvulvadriver]

For the last 2 years, the annual flu vaccine parental consent form has asked what “gender” primary school age children are instead of their sex. I won’t rehearse here why, when administering vaccines and any other pharmaceutical intervention, actually knowing the biological sex of the human receiving it is pretty vital (as is recording of population data on who receives these interventions (and who doesn’t)). However, having just been sent this year’s form, I wanted to note here that THEY NOW ASK FOR THE CHILD’S SEX!! Hurray! Anyone else noticed this in their local vaccine programme?

Me too, just did mine now, this thread reminded me to do it

Just had ours through, Kernow Health are still asking for gender with options of Male, Female, Non Binary and Prefer not to say
