Be Part of It NT

Our school will be involved in B Part if 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 Northern Territory in 2022 to offer free Meningococcal B vaccination to participating students in years 10, 11 and 12. This has now been extended to Year 9 students as long as they are 14 years or older. Vaccinations will take place at St Philip's college on Tuesday, 16th August 2022. If you would like your child to be part of it, please complete the digital consent forms (link below) by 12th August or if you prefer the paper consent forms, these can be collected from Student Access or Reception. 

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 https://is.gd/BPartofitNT. 

If you want your child to join the study, please fill in the student’s details and sign the online consent form. 

If you want to find out more information about the study please contact the study co-ordinator at joanne.gerrell@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.
