NSW School Vaccination Program – Tuesday 17 October 2023

NSW Health will offer the following vaccinations at your school clinic: 

• Year 7 – dTpa (Diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis) & HPV (Human Papillomavirus) (if not already given in Term 1 or 2)

•  Year 10 – Meningococcal ACWY (catch up)

Students can only have their vaccination at school if consent has been received.

If you or your child’s other parent provided consent earlier this year please do not submit consent again. Most Year 7 parents consented for both HPV and dTPa before the Term 1 HPV vaccine clinic. (You can check if you gave online consent by logging in again; https://nswhealth.service-now.com/school )

This is the last vaccination clinic at your school this year. If your child is absent they can be vaccinated at school in 2024, or at your GP. The vaccine is supplied without cost to you but GPs may charge a consultation fee.

To provide consent if you haven’t already done so: visit: https://nswhealth.service-now.com/school    

For guidance to complete the form visit https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/Factsheets/online-consent-school-vaccination-english.pdf

If you or your child do not have a Medicare card, consent can still be provided by requesting a paper-based consent form directly from your child’s school.
