Year 10 Immunisation Program

Each year NSW Health works in partnership with schools to offer free vaccinations as recommended by the National Health and Medical Research Council. These vaccines are important and protect students through to adulthood.

All Year 10 Students will be offered the Meningococcal ACWY vaccine on Thursday 18 August. An information pack will have been sent home with Year 10 students in Week 2, which includes a consent form and a meningococcal record of vaccination card that will be given back to students after they have been vaccinated.

Please sign the consent form and have your daughter return it to Student Services by Monday 8 August, UNLESS you do NOT wish your daughter to be vaccinated. Please note – the nurses will be unable to vaccinate any student if their form is not signed by their parent or guardian.

Due to COVID disruptions in previous years, students will also be offered catch-up vaccination for any missed doses, including:

• during Year 8 (for HPV and dTpa vaccination) and during Year 11 (for Meningococcal ACWY vaccination) for consent signed in 2021
• during Year 9 or Year 12 (to students who were in Years 7 and 10 respectively in 2020) who missed vaccination during 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 disruptions.

Students who are on the list to receive a catch-up vaccination will receive a text from NSW Health and/or an email from the School. If your daughter has since received this vaccination outside the school program, please let the school know to remove her from the list.
