| YEAR 7 MALE & FEMALE STUDENTS | GARDASIL9 (HPV) DOSE 2 FINAL DOSE |
The following vaccines will be offered on this day:
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 may 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.
Please note that ATAGI (Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation) recommends that there no longer needs to be a 7 day interval between COVID-19 vaccination and any other vaccine (including school vaccines). Therefore, if we have a signed consent card for school vaccinations, this vaccine(s) will be administered to your child on 19/11/2021, providing that your child is well on the day of vaccination. Please note that ATAGI advises that “co-administration or near administration (within 7 days) of 2 or more vaccines can lead to a higher frequency of mild to moderate adverse events…therefore your child may experience common adverse effects. Any adverse events should be reported to SAEFVIC”:
- Email: saefvic@mcri.edu.au
- Phone: 1300 882 924 (option 1)
- Online: https://www.safevac.org.au
Parents/guardians who wish to withdraw their consent for any reason may do so by emailing or phoning the school, and Council’s Immunisation Team on immunise@wodonga.vic.gov.au before the vaccination day.
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 had these vaccines 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.
