School Immunisations

The Kingborough Council’s immunisation team will be providing vaccinations to year 7 students this year.

The following vaccines will be provided:

Human papillomavirus (HPV) – three doses given a few months apart

Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) dTpa – one dose

Please complete and return all the consent forms* (even if your child will not be receiving the vaccines) by the 14 February 2017.

If there are any families who require assistance filling out the consent forms, please research 26TEN (LINC) who provide translators and help to fill in forms. Their website address is http://26ten.tas.gov.au/about-26ten/Pages/default.aspx.

If you have any questions please contact the Council on 6211 8255, or your family doctor.

Forms will be sent home with your children.
