This year’s School Based Vaccination programme will offer two dose HPV vaccinations to protect against genital warts, cervical cancer, throat and mouth cancers, and other types of cancers later in life.
The programme also includes a one dose Boostrix vaccination to provide protection against Tetanus, Diphtheria and Whooping Cough.
A vaccination pack is provided early in Term 1 to students who have not completed their vaccinations in General Practice. Parent/caregivers – please complete this form and return it to school. Consent for the school-based programme can be withdrawn at any time during the programme by contacting the vaccinating team directly HPV@cdhb.health.nz
