The second round of Year 7 school immunisations is being conducted at Huon on Friday October 12th and at Felltimber on Monday October 22nd 2018.

The following vaccines will be offered on this day:

YEAR LEVEL VACCINES OFFERED
YEAR 7 MALE & FEMALE STUDENTS GARDASIL9 (HPV) DOSE 2 FINAL DOSE

These vaccinations are funded as part of the Victorian Secondary Schools Immunisation Program. Should your child miss out on starting their vaccination course this year they will not be eligible to receive them for free in subsequent years in the school program. Consent cards should have already been signed and completed for these vaccinations earlier this year.

Please ensure that your child is wearing their sports uniform or a short sleeve shirt on the vaccination day (without any long sleeved layers underneath), this will enable a smooth vaccination process.

If your Year 7 child missed the first dose of vaccines please contact council’s immunisation team on 1800 655 360 to obtain a consent card (if consent card previously not returned). Council can administer the first dose of vaccines at school if we have a signed consent card. To complete the vaccine course, students must attend a council immunisation session or their GP, 6 months after dose 1 was given.

If your child has been vaccinated elsewhere and you have not already done so, please notify council’s immunisation team on 1800 655 360.

If you DO NOT wish for your child to receive any further vaccinations or if you have any enquiries about the program or your child’s vaccinations, please contact Wodonga Council’s Immunisation Team on 1800 655 360.
