Be Part of It NT
Our school will be involved in B Part Of It NT, a study of the meningococcal B vaccine. The licenced vaccine is safe and proven to protect against Meningococcal B disease, a rare but severe disease. The study nurses will visit schools across the Northern Territory in 2022 to offer free Meningococcal B vaccination to students 14019 years of age in Years 9, 10, 11 & 12.
Vaccinations will take place at St Philip's College on Tuesday 16th August.
If you would like your child to be part of it, please complete and sign the digital consent forms (link below) by 12th August. If your child joined the study in 2021 or early 2022, you don’t need to sign another consent for them this year.
Please read the information contained in the online information sheet and consent form
If you prefer a paper consent form, these can be collected from Student Access or Reception.
If you want to find out more information about the study, please contact the co-ordinator at menbstudy.ca@nt.gov.au. You can also ask for a hard copy of the information and consent form if you prefer to fill it out on paper.
