School immunisation

School immunisation programs are run free of charge for grade 7 and grade 10 students.

Information and consent form/s are distributed to students through their school at the beginning of each school year. Parents are requested to read the information, sign the consent form and return it to the school by the due date.

If you have returned the relevant forms to school and your child is absent on the day vaccination is done, you will receive your child’s consent form back in the mail.  School catch-up vaccines for grade 7 and 10 can be given at approved pharmacies across Hobart – list of pharmacies below.

More information on the school immunisation program is available on the Department of Health website.
