School Immunisations in 2020

*The first Year 7 Immunisations will be taking place at school on Monday 22nd Feb.

The Secondary School Vaccine Program offers free vaccines to Year 7 and 10 students. These vaccines provide protection against:

·       Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) – one dose for  year 7 students

·       Human Papillomavirus (HPV) – two doses for year 7 students

·       Meningococcal A,C,W,Y – one dose for year 10 students.

Parents/guardians of Year 7 and 10 students should ensure  student vaccine consent cards are returned to school as soon as possible, if not already returned. 

The Casey Council immunisation service may contact you about the Secondary School Vaccine Program. Schools are authorised to provide basic parent/guardian contact details to local councils for this purpose.

Contact the school by 26 February 2020 if you do not want your contact details given to Casey Councils immunisation service.

To learn more about the Secondary School Vaccine Program, the vaccines, the diseases they protect against, or how you can prepare your child for vaccination, go to betterhealth.vic.gov.au

Additionally, the Commonwealth government is funding vaccinations for all children under 20 years of age who missed any scheduled vaccines, including a catch-up program for Meningococcal ACWY vaccine for adolescents aged 15-19 years of age who have not already received the vaccine in school. If students have missed vaccines, either in childhood or adolescence, and require catch-up vaccines, they should speak with their immunisation provider. (ie. local council or GP).
