NSW Health will offer vaccinations (diphtheria / tetanus / pertussis (dTpa) / Human Papillomavirus vaccine (HPV)) to all Year 7 students (and Year 8 students if not already vaccinated in Year 7) on Tuesday 9 September.
Vaccination will only be provided at school if consent has been received. Consent given previously remain valid. If you no longer want your child vaccinated, you need to withdraw consent before the day of the school clinic. You can withdraw consent online, notifying the school or contacting the Public Health Unit on (02) 9485 6971.
How to provide consent:
Access the link to the NSW School Vaccination Portal - https://engage.health.nsw.gov.au/engage - and follow the steps to log in to your existing ServiceNSW Account. This is the same account you may already use to renew your driver’s licence. If you don’t have a ServiceNSW account, refer to ServiceNSW to create one.
Update or confirm your personal details in ServiceNSW as required.
Complete the School Vaccination Consent Form for your child/ren. You will need to: a. Enter your child’s personal details b. Provide the Medicare card details for you and your child c. Read the linked Parent Information Sheet and privacy statement. Translations available in 28 languages d. Provide consent. (For detailed steps on how to provide consent please refer to guide on how to provide consent online on the NSW Health webpage.)
You will receive an SMS and email when you have successfully submitted the online consent form.
Vaccines
This dTpa vaccine is the booster dose against whooping cough (pertussis), tetanus and diphtheria. This adolescent dTpa dose is recommended at age 11-13 years old and is still advised even if they have had whooping cough. Only 1 dose of HPV vaccine is required.
No Medicare? If you or your child do not have a Medicare card or you don’t have IT access, consent can still be provided by requesting a paper-based consent form directly from your child’s school.
Student absent from school on vaccination day
If your child is absent from school and misses the clinic we can vaccinate them at school next year, or the vaccine is available at your GP and some pharmacies. For more information on routine school vaccinations, visit http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/schoolvaccination.
If you have difficulty completing the online vaccination consent form, please email nslhd-phuschoolvaccinationprogram@health.nsw.gov.au or phone 02 9485 6971 for assistance.
