B Part of It NT

Dear Parents/Guardians, 

Our school will, once again, 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 14-19 years of age in Years 9, 10, 11 & 12. 

Vaccinations will take place at St Philip's College on Wednesday, 19th October 2022.  

If you would like your child to be part of it, please complete and sign the digital consent forms https://is.gd/BPartofitNT.com by 17th October. If your child joined the study in 2021 or early 2022, you don’t need to sign another consent for them this year. 

If you would like to find out more information, please visit the website https://bpartofitnt.com.au/ or contact the co-ordinator at menbstudy.ca@nt.gov.au.
