Funded vaccines for all Year 7 and Year 10 students
Dear Parent/Guardian
Teams of specially trained registered nurses will be visiting your child’s school during Year 7 to offer funded vaccinations against serious preventable diseases.
What do you need to do?
Parents/Carers will be notified by email when Year 7 and 10 Immunisations will be held. Information regarding how to complete the online consent form will be included in the email. Steps include:
- Log into your Service NSW Account
- Navigate to the NSW School Vaccination Program
- Select 'Provide Consent', and make sure to complete ALL fields.
- Read the parent information sheet and provide consent by ticking the boxes of the declaration statement
Year 7 students are scheduled to receive two vaccines:
- dTpa (Boostrix) diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis
- HPV (Gardasil) human papilloamvirus
Year 10 students are scheduled to receive a single dose of:
- MenACWY (Nimenrix) meningococcal ACWY
Once the online consent form is completed, select 'Submit'.
What if your child misses a vaccine?
You won’t need to do anything because every effort will be made to catch-up missed vaccines at other clinics at your child’s school during that year, or the following year, when they are in Year 8.
