Catch-up vaccinations for secondary school students
Students who have missed their school vaccination: diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, human papillomavirus (HPV) and meningococcal ACWY can receive a catch-up vaccination at a Council community immunisation clinic, or at their local GP. Adolescents aged 15-19 years who missed the meningococcal ACWY vaccine at school are also eligible for a free vaccine.
A parent, carer or legal guardian will need to be present to consent to the vaccination and sign a consent card.
Until December 2020 the School Immunisation Program was being run by Brisbane City Council. As of January 2021, this program was been taken over by Ozcare. Visit Ozcare’s website for further information.
