School Age Immunisations
Each academic year, the School Age Immunisation Service (SAIS) visits our school to offer routine vaccinations to eligible students. These include:
-
Flu Vaccine
-
HPV Vaccine
-
Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Polio (Td/IPV – the 3-in-1 vaccine)
-
Meningitis ACWY
The dates for these sessions are set by SAIS and will be published in our school calendar.
Consent forms are sent to parents via email ahead of each scheduled immunisation session.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the immunisations, please contact the School Age Immunisation Service directly:
