Be Part of It NT

Our school will be involved in B Part Of It NT, a study of the meningococcal B vaccine. The licenced vaccine is safe and proven to protect against meningococcal B disease, a rare but severe disease. 

The study nurses will visit schools across the Northern Territory in 2022 to offer free Meningococcal B vaccinations to participating students in years 10, 11 and 12. This has now been extended to Year 9 students as long as they are 14 years or older.

Vaccinations will take place at St Philip's college on Tuesday 16th August. 

If you would like your child to join the study, please read the online information sheet, fill in your student details and sign the consent form: https://is.gd/BPartofitNT. Consent forms are due Friday 12th August. 

If your child joined the study in 2021 or early 2022, you don’t need to sign another consent for them this year. 

If you prefer a paper consent form, these can be collected from Student Access or Reception.
