Meningococcal B Immunisation Day – Thursday 20 August (Week 6)

Our final Meningococcal B immunisation day for the year will be held on Thursday 20 August, for students to complete their two-dose vaccination course. 

In addition to the Meningococcal B (Men B) vaccine, we are also offering diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (dTpa) vaccination to students who are overdue.

With a recent Diphtheria outbreak, we encourage parents and carers to take a moment to check their child’s immunisation status. 

If you would like your child to have a Diphtheria vaccination, or if they have not yet commenced the Men B vaccination course, please contact the school and we will be a happy to provide a consent form.

If you have any questions about the immunisation program or require assistance accessing your child’s immunisation records, please don’t hesitate to contact the school and ask for Steph our Health Promoting School Nurse, as they will be more than happy to assist.

Diphtheria vaccinations are also available at Eurilpa House, 25 Todd St Mall,

at their Drop-in vaccine clinic, Mon – Fri, 9:30am – 3:30pm. Flyer attached.

NB –Young people ages 14 years and over can access to their own records or give permission for a parent or guardian to access it on their behalf. If you need assistance accessing your child’s immunisation history, please contact the school or Services Australia on 1800 653 809
