YEAR 8 IMMUNISATION PROGRAM
Specific immunisations are offered free to all year 8 students through the National Immunisation Program, including human papillomavirus (HPV) to protect against cervical, head and neck cancer, and genital warts, as well as booster doses of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. Each student in year 8 will be provided with an information pack from the Department of Health. It includes details of the program and a consent form for parents to sign. Please ensure that all forms are completed and returned to school ASAP even if you are declining the immunisation. The immunisation team will be at the school on Tuesday, 26 February for the first round of vaccinations. You can access more information about the program at;
