Year 7 and Year 10 Immunisation Program
Year 7 and Year 10 Immunisation Program
The School Immunisation Program offers a safe and effective opportunity to help keep Queensland students protected from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Queensland’s School Immunisation Program is a safe, effective and free way to protect your child and their peers from vaccine-preventable disease.
In Year 7, vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (whooping cough) is offered. In Year 10, vaccination against meningococcal ACWY is offered.
These diseases can cause serious harm to your child.
Year 7 and Year 10 students will receive a consent form and information pack for details on the vaccines offered and the diseases they prevent.
It's easy to be involved - simply complete, sign and return the consent form so your child can be vaccinated at the College by our qualified immunisation nurse.
If you've lost the consent form, you can reprint it here: www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/immunisation/adolescents
Consent forms will be posted home to Year 7 and 10 families this week.
The dates for the program are as follows:
Round 1 – Year 7 & 10 Wednesday 17th May 2023
Round 2 – Year 7 Tuesday 21st November 2023
