Year 10 Vaccination Clinic Date and Online Consent

Year 10 Vaccination Clinic Date and Online Consent

In Week 2 of Term 3, all Year 10 Students will be offered the Meningococcal ACWY vaccine through the NSW School Vaccination Program offered by NSW Health on Thursday 27 July.

Parents can now provide consent online for their child’s routine school vaccinations. Vaccinations will only be provided at school if consent has been given.

  • To complete online consent for your child’s school vaccinations, visit here.
  • Follow the steps to log in to your existing ServiceNSW account. This is the same account you may already use to renew your driver’s licence. If you don’t have a ServiceNSW account, refer to ServiceNSW to create one.
  • Update or confirm your personal details in ServiceNSW as required.
  • Complete the School Vaccination Consent Form for your child/ren. You will need to:
    • Enter your child’s personal details
    • Provide the Medicare card details for you and your child
    • Read the linked Parent Information Sheet and privacy statement
    • Provide consent

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.

We ask that Parents of Year 10 students complete their online consent form by Thursday 20 July.

If your child misses the school vaccination clinic, the immunisation nurses will try to catch them up at their next visit. Consent can be provided online for any Year 7 students who missed the Term 1 Clinic, for them to be caught up with the dTpa and the HPV vaccinations at the upcoming Year 10 Clinic. Alternately, you can speak to a GP or pharmacist about catching up on vaccination.

Update regarding Year 7 & Year 8 Catch-up HPV Vaccinations

From February 2023, only one dose of HPV vaccination is required to be fully vaccinated. If your child is in Year 7 or above and previously missed their second dose of HPV vaccine, they are now considered fully vaccinated and do not require a second dose.
