School Immunisation Program - Year 7 Students 2024
The Wyndham Council Immunisation service will be visiting your child’s school on Thursday 18 April to administer these vaccines
The National Immunisation Program schedule recommends your Year 7 student receive the following vaccines FREE:
HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS(HPV) GARDASIL®9
The HPV vaccine GARDASIL®9 protects against seven HPV types which cause over 90% of cervical cancer in women and over 95% of HPV-related cancers in both men and women. It also protects against an additional two HPV types which cause 90% of genital warts. The vaccine provides best protection when given at a younger age and before a person becomes sexually active. The vaccine prevents disease but does not treat existing HPV infections. A single dose of the HPV vaccine provides protection against the Human Papillomavirus for all healthy adolescents.
DIPHTHERIA, TETANUS AND PERTUSSIS (Whooping Cough) - BOOSTRIXA
single dose boosts your child’s immunity to Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis (Whooping Cough).
