Year 10

NSW School Vaccination Program 

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.

In 2021 the following vaccine will be offered to Yr 10 students:

Parent Information Kits that include an information sheet, consent form and privacy statement will be sent home to parents/guardians next week. To consent to the vaccination of your child:

• Read all the information provided
• Complete the consent form, including signing your name next to the vaccine you would like your child to receive
• Return the completed consent form before 21 May. Students are required to drop consent forms off at the Secondary School Office.
• Ensure that your child eats breakfast on the day of the school vaccination clinic.
•  

Please note that if a student is absent from a clinic, they will be offered any missed doses at subsequent clinics. They do not need to go to their GP for these vaccines because they are absent from a clinic.

The following short videos have useful information about the vaccines and how the school immunisation clinics run. Please click here to view. 

A Record of Vaccination card will be provided to each student vaccinated at each clinic. Details about vaccinations given at school will also be uploaded to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) to support complete vaccination histories.
