School based immunisation program

The nationally-funded school-based immunisation program offers protection against several vaccine-preventable diseases.

It’s free and provided to all students through their school in Year 7 and Year 10.

Parents or guardians must read, sign and return the immunisation consent form provided by your child’s school, even if you choose not to have your child immunised.

Year 7

• Human papillomavirus (HPV) and diphtheria-tetanus-whooping cough vaccine
• Your child will need one dose of each vaccine during Year 7 
• Visit Healthy WA for more information about the Year 7 immunisation program.

Year 10

• free meningococcal ACWY vaccine
• visit Healthy WA for more information about the Year 10 immunisation program.

What if they miss their immunisation?

If your child misses their immunisation at school, visit your GP, Aboriginal Medical Service or community immunisation clinic (consultation fees may apply).
