NSW SCHOOL VACCINATION PROGRAM 2018

 

School vaccination clinics continue into terms 3 & 4

 

Tuesday 16th October 2018

 

WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS MISSED A VACCINE

 

If your child has missed any vaccinations they will be offered any missed doses at the next clinic at their school.  

 

WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS NOT RECEIVED ALL HPV VACCINES BEFORE THE END OF 2018?

 

Any year 7 student with missed doses of HPV vaccine can be caught up in 2019.

 

ADDITIONALLY:

·         Any 2018 year 8 student who commenced HPV vaccination while in year 7 and are yet to finish the course of HPV (and who has not received any from their local doctor) can still receive this at the next clinic at their school.

·         Any year 10 or 11 student who returned a signed consent card for Meningococcal ACWY vaccine and has not receive this in 2018 (and who has not received it from their local doctor) can still receive this at the next clinic at their school.

Please note:

·         As of July 2017 any student who has missed school program vaccines or any childhood vaccines can now receive these vaccines from their local doctor. For more information please refer to www.immunise.health.gov.au and click on “National immunisation program – expansion”.

Don’t forget a Record of Vaccination is given to each student for each vaccination. Parents/guardians should ensure that this record is kept for future reference and should not assume that their child has been vaccinated if they do not receive this Record of Vaccination.
