Immunisations

NSW SCHOOL VACCINATION PROGRAM

24 June - any catch ups

21 October - any catch ups.

Consent can be done now for Year 7 and Year 10 students who missed the last immunisation date. A limited supply of paper consent forms are available if you are having difficulty doing the online consent.

Consent can be provided online using the following link https://engage.health.nsw.gov.au/engage . It is best to do this on a computer rather than a phone. If you cannot consent online, please contact the school for a paper copy to be completed. To consent to the vaccination of their child, parents/guardians are advised to:

• Enter the URL into your browser, select the School Vaccination Program tile and follow instructions.

• read all the information provided

• complete the online consent form and give consent for which vaccine/s they would like their child to receive

• ensure that their child eats breakfast on the day of the school vaccination clinic.

To improve vaccination completion, students whose parents/guardians have provided consent while in Year 7 or Year 10 and who miss vaccine doses at any clinic, will be opportunistically offered these vaccines at each clinic visit throughout 2025 (Year 7 or 10) and 2026 (Year 8 or 11).  

Parents/guardians who wish to withdraw their consent for any reason may do so by amending their student’s online consent. 

The Procedure for Withdrawal of Consent is available on the NSW Health website at http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/Pages/withdraw_consent.aspx

A Record of Vaccination will be provided to parents by SMS once a student has been vaccinated. Parents/guardians should not assume that their child has been vaccinated if they do not receive this SMS notification. 

NOTE: If you experience difficulty with accessing the online consent package, please see the pdf guide below or contact the school.  

Please note: only students who have received parental consent will be immunised.

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 2025 the following vaccines will be offered:
