YEAR 7 - IMMUNISATION PROGRAM IN TERM 3
The Department of Health provides a free immunisation program for Year 7 students. The School Based Immunisation Program (SBIP) offers a booster dose of the diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (dTpa) vaccine and a vaccine to protect against Human Papillomavirus (HPV). All students require parent/guardian consent before they receive any vaccinations at school. SBIP are scheduled to visit the school in Term 3 for the Year 7 vaccinations. For detailed instructions on how to register your child, including information relating to relevant disease transmission and symptoms, please visit the School-based immunisation program (healthywa.wa.gov.au).
