YEAR 7 AND 10 STUDENTS: IMMUNISATIONS
The Department of Health provides a free immunisation program for students in Years 7 and 10. The School Based Immunisation Program (SBIP) offers Year 7 students a booster dose of the diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (dTpa) vaccine and a vaccine to protect against Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Year 10 students are offered the Meningococcal ACWY (Men ACWY) vaccine. All students require parent/guardian consent before they receive any vaccinations at school.
The School Based Immunisation Program is transitioning to an online platform. For detailed instructions on how to register your child, including information relating to the relevant disease transmission and symptoms, please visit School-based immunisation program (healthywa.wa.gov.au)
