Immunisations
School Immunisation
Sorell Council provides a school based immunisation program.
The school immunisation program provides Year 7 Sorell High School Students with two free vaccines. The first vaccine is a booster dose called Boostrix. This vaccine covers diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough).
The second vaccine is Gardasil which protects children from the Human papilloma virus (HPV). This is given as 2 doses on different days, 6 months apart.
Your year 7 child will be given a consent form at the start of the year that must be signed and returned to the school, even if your child is not being vaccinated.
