Year 7 Immunisation Program

The Department of Health is offering a free immunisation program for Year 7 students.

 

The program offers a booster dose of the diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (dTpa) vaccine, and a vaccine for protection against human papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV vaccine provides wide protection against genital warts and some cancers in two doses.

 

The Department of Health Immunisation team will be visiting the College on Monday 20 May to administer the first round of vaccines.

 

Students in Year 7 will receive an information pack closer to the date for parents to sign.
