From Monday 6 February 2023 the routine two dose HPV vaccine schedule provided to young people aged 12-13 years will become a single dose.

A letter has been issued by the Ozcare Nurses at the school clinics held last week (Tuesday 7 March - Wednesday 8 March) to Year 7 students who received their vaccinations.

We wish to advise Round 2 for the School Year 7 Immunisation Program as previously scheduled in October 2023 has been cancelled along with the catch-up session on College grounds.

Any students in Year 7 and Year 10 that have missed their vaccinations, Parents/Guardians will be contacted by Ozcare as they conduct a catchup clinic at their Ozcare Office on Tuesday 28 March for Year 7s and Wednesday 29 March for Year 10s.

Thank you for your assistance and participation in the School Immunisation Program.
