Missed School Vaccinations 2024

Key messages for parents/guardians

The Secondary School Immunisation Program offers free vaccines provided by the National Immunisation Program each year to students in Year 7 (HPV and Diphtheria/Tetanus/Whooping cough) and Year 10 (Meningococcal ACWY).
If your child missed out on receiving their vaccinations at school this year, it's not too late to get vaccinated.

Free adolescent vaccines can be accessed at your local council immunisation service, GP or pharmacist immuniser.

To see if your child is due for any vaccines, check your child’s immunisation history statement on the Australian Immunisation Register using your MyGov account. Children aged 14 years of age and over can access their own immunisation history statement via MyGov.
