Yr 7 HPV dose 2 and dTpa Vaccinations, Thursday 3 November 2022
Each year NSW Health works in partnership with schools to offer the vaccines recommended by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) for adolescents as part of the school vaccination program.
The final clinic for 2022 will take place on Thursday 3 November. It will offer the Year 7 HPV dose 2 and dTpa (whooping cough) vaccines.
Parent Information Kits with consent cards have already been completed parents earlier in the year and there is no further administrative action required.
On the day of the vaccination clinic please ensure:
- your child eats breakfast
- your child brings a mask to wear whilst in the clinic
- your child does not attend school if they are unwell or if they have any symptoms of Covid
Absent Students
Please note that to improve vaccination completion, Year 7 students will be offered a catch-up vaccination at a subsequent clinic in 2023 if they have missed a vaccination in 2022. They do not need to go to their GP for the missed vaccine.
A Record of Vaccination will be provided to each student vaccinated at each clinic as a physical card. Details about vaccinations given at school will also be uploaded to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) to support complete vaccination histories. Parents can obtain this through the myGov website or the Express Plus Medicare Mobile app. (Anyone aged 14 years or older has to get their own statement).
