In March 2017 Health Protection NSW made the decision to reduce the HPV Gardasil vaccination from a three-dose program to a two-dose program, with dose two being given six months after the first dose.
This is in line with International guidelines. Our current Year 7 students will receive their second dose of Gardasil on 31 October. Students will be reminded in the week prior to this date. Please remind your student to eat a healthy breakfast before coming to College on this day.
The NSW Government is in the process of releasing an information sheet to the community. A copy of this letter will be sent out to all School Principals and we will forward this to you once we have received it.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me.
