There are recommended vaccinations under the National Immunisation Program for all Victorian secondary school students in year 7 and year 10 (or age equivalent).
Greater Dandenong Councils’ immunisation team visits all Secondary Schools in the municipality to deliver the free Secondary School Immunisation Program.
Your child's school will provide information about the vaccine/s and how to provide consent for your child to receive the vaccination at school.
If your child misses their vaccination at school, they can receive this with by your doctor, or book an appointment to attend a Council Community Immunisation session.
