Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for year 8 students
By Sara Quelch | Posted: Sunday February 11, 2024
Dear parents/caregivers,
Please find attached an important letter from Tash Richards, HPV School Based programme coordinator regarding HPV immunisation.
The public health nurse for our school will deliver an education session to all the eligible students, and your child will bring home a consent form for you to fill in and return to the school. Please inform your school if you do not wish for your child to attend the education session.
Please fill in the consent form and return it to the school whether you consent or do not consent to the vaccinations. Children require two vaccinations over six months to be fully immunised. This year the vaccinations will be given between late April/May and October/November.
No student will be vaccinated at school unless they have a consent form signed by a parent or legal guardian.
