Year 10 Meningococcal Vaccine

The Department of Health is offering parents of students in Year 10 the opportunity to have their child vaccinated against Meningococcal ACWY.

 

This vaccine protects against four serogroups of meningococcal bacteria: A, C, W and Y.

 

The Department of Health Immunisation team will be visiting the College on Monday 20 September to administer the vaccine. 

 

Information and consent forms will be sent home with your child closer to the date.

Note that all students are vaccinated in school by a nursing team with expertise in immunisation.
