Year 10 School Vaccination Program.
The 2024 WA School Based Immunisation Program will be offered at your school by the local community school health immunisation nurses.
• Year 10 students are eligible to receive the free meningococcal ACWY vaccine to protect against 4 strains of the disease. Meningococcal spreads easily and older teenagers have some of the highest rates of infection.
• All students require parent/guardian consent before they can receive any
vaccination at school.
