Secondary School Immunisation Program
Dear Parent/Guardian,
The Public Health and Wellbeing Regulations 2019 authorise schools to release parent/carers and student information to local councils enabling councils to follow up with parents/carers after consent has been requested. This means that we will provide the City of Whittlesea with your contact details and a member of their Immunisation team may contact you if they have not received notification of consent or non - consent for immunisations for your child. Council WILL NOT contact you if you have provided a NO consent unless they require verification. If you do not wish for your details to be provided to the City of Whittlesea, please advise me in writing before close of business 28 February 2025. If you cannot contact me by the above date you will need to contact the Immunisation Administration Programs Supervisor at the City of Whittlesea on 9217 2170 if you have queries about your contact details. Immunisation is an important public health initiative. It protects individuals and communities from preventable diseases. All Victorian secondary students can receive these vaccines for free through the school - based program.
The Secondary School Immunisation Program offers free vaccines from the National Immunisation Program schedule to all eligible students in Year 7 and Year 10.
Year 7 students
Diphtheria - tetanus - pertussis (whooping cough)
•
Human papillomavirus (HPV)
•
Year 10 students:
Meningococcal vaccine
•
Local councils deliver the program and schools provide student and family information to the council, this enables families to register with Vitavo, our online immunisation registration program, and provide consent.
