The WA Department of Health is offering a free immunisation program for Year 7 students. The program offers a booster dose of the diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (dTpa) vaccine, and a vaccine to protect against human papillomavirus (HPV). Students in Year 7 will receive an information pack early in Term 1 containing details of the program and a consent form. Parents must indicate their child’s participation in this free program with a YES or NO as instructed on the consent form and the signed consent form must be return to the school.
