Reminder for Parents of Year 8 Students
Eastern Health Authority (EHA) will soon be visiting the College to commence the Varicella and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) (Dose 1) immunisations for those students with parent/guardian consent.
If you did not receive an immunisation consent form from your child, please ask at the school office for one, or contact EHA on 8132 3600.
Please notify us if your child:
- Your child has already started the HPV program with another provider.
- Your child has already had the Varicella Zoster vaccine with another provider.
- You wish to withdraw your consent.
- Your child’s medical condition has changed.
Please note: If your child requires Varicella immunisation and is 14 years of age or older, a second dose of Varicella vaccine is required 1-2 months after the 1st dose. There will be a cost for the 2nd dose, which can be administered at your council immunisation clinic or at your GP.
Remember: It is your responsibility to advise EHA on the day of immunisation of any change in the information on the consent form, in particular, your child’s medical condition. (A signed and dated note presented to the Registered Nurse on the day of immunisation in your child’s diary is acceptable.)
