The Public Health Act 2005 requires the school principal to disclose student and parent information for eligible Year 7 and Year 10 students to the school immunisation provider if requested. This information will enable the school immunisation provider to determine those who have and have not consented, and directly follow-up with parents of students who have not returned a consent card. This direct follow-up ensures all parents are offered the opportunity for their child to participate in this important school health program. It may also assist you in making decisions about your child's immunisation needs.
Parents or legal guardians who have indicated 'I do not consent' via the digital link will not be followed up by the provider.
School immunisation providers will be bound to comply with the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld). This Act stipulates the requirements for the secure collection, use, storage, and disposal of personal information to be followed by school health program providers.
The vaccinations will be conducted by a team of authorised registered nurses and/or a medical practitioner. Parents or legal guardians are encouraged to ensure their children have an adequate breakfast on the morning of vaccination.
