What you need to do - Complete the intent form (consent or decline)
Your adolescent cannot be vaccinated at school without your consent. Whether you consent or decline, it is important to complete the form ahead of the nursing team’s visit.
Only a parent or legal guardian can give consent or decline vaccination for an adolescent.
The form can be completed
- Online (preferred method)
- Hard copy – If you are unable to complete the online form, download a copy from the website and return the completed form to the school.
If you are experiencing difficulty using or accessing the online form, email SBIP@health.wa.gov.au or call 9222 2486.
If you have other questions around the school-based immunisation program (for example, eligibility or any medical queries), please contact CAHS.CHSBIP@health.wa.gov.au.
