Immunisation Information for Parents / Appointed Legal Guardians of Year 10 Students

The SA 2026 School Immunisation Program will be delivered by Eastern Health Authority on Friday 14 August 2026 (2nd and final visit).

All Year 10 students will be offered:

• dose 2 of the meningococcal B vaccine

Immunisation Consent packs have been provided to all Year 10 students at the commencement of the school year, including information about the vaccines on offer. If you did not receive an Immunisation Consent pack, please contact the school office direct so this pack can be provided to you.

We would encourage all parents/appointed legal guardians to read the information supplied in the packs before providing consent for your child to be vaccinated at school. Additional, further information and videos are available online (click to view) if required.

If your child missed their first school immunisation visit and hasn’t yet attended a catch-up clinic:

• The missed vaccines will be offered at the upcoming school visit.
• Following the immunisation, it is then recommended that you contact EHA to book an additional follow-up appointment on or after 8 weeks at one of our council clinics.

If you have provided consent to participate in the immunisation program and information has changed, in particular in relation to your child’s medical condition or if you wish to withdraw consent, please directly notify your school immunisation provider (Eastern Health Authority) as soon as possible prior to the date of immunisation.

Tips for the day of immunisation:

• encourage your child to eat prior to the immunisations and drink plenty of water throughout the day; and
• wear sports uniform to allow for easy access to the upper arm.

If you have any further questions about the program, please directly contact your school immunisation provider, Eastern Health Authority, on 8132 3600 or via email at eha@eha.sa.gov.au

Please note - School Immunisation Program records will be available on MyGov within 24 hours of the school visit.
