Immunisation services

Secondary school immunisations

Council conducts sessions at all secondary schools across Moorabool Shire every year.

Prior to each immunisation session, an information package containing vaccine information and consent instructions is distributed to parents and guardians. Consent can be completed online through Central Immunisation Records Victoria (CIRV). 

A paper consent form will also be available for parents or guardians who prefer to provide consent in hard-copy form for the applicable secondary school immunisation vaccine. 

We often offer catch-up immunisation sessions at schools, to check if there are any catch-up sessions planned, please contact the Public Health team.

If you miss the sessions at your childs school, immunisations can be given at your local GP.

Recommended vaccines for high school students:

Year 7 (12-13 years) secondary school students

  • HPV - Human Papillomavirus (1-dose course)
  • Boostrix vaccination - diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (1 dose)

Year 10 secondary school students

Council holds all immunisation records.To obtain a copy of your immunisation history, please contact the Public Health team.

Infant immunisations

Infants (6 weeks to 6 years) can get free immunisations from your local GP.

Our Maternal and Child Health (M&CH) service plays a very important role in promoting the importance of immunisation. We can help with schedules and ensure your child is up-to-date. 

Our Public Health team promotes the importance of immunisation among local health professionals. This keeps our early childhood vaccination rates above the State average.
