Attached you will find a consent form and a fact sheet detailing the Vaccination Clinic.

The three vaccinations that will be offered in school are:

Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) , Meningitis

HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines are a 2 dose series, and must be given 6 months apart.

Meningitis vaccine is a single dose and contains more strains that the vaccine your child received as an infant.

Please follow the directions on the consent form and return the form to your child’s teacher.  Nurses will be collecting these forms on Friday December 2nd.  Forms are due to the students teacher on Thursday, December 1st.
