Due to interruptions to school-based learning during COVID-19 and the recent floods, some students have missed important vaccines, including HPV vaccination, and will need to complete their vaccine program to ensure they are protected.
HPV vaccination protects young people from a range of HPV related cancers and diseases.
If your child missed a school vaccination, Greater Shepparton City Council's immunisation service will be providing catch-up vaccination for Year 7 and Year 10 school vaccines.
You can also talk to your GP, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation, or pharmacist about your child’s immunisation needs.
You can either complete the online consent your school has distributed, or book an appointment via Council’s website.
